Body 
ITU-T Study Group 11 would like to inform SG13 and IETF SPRING about the
initiation of new work item Q.SFCP "Monitoring parameters for service function
orchestration based on service function chaining", which was started at the
ITU-T SG11 meeting, Geneva, 17-26 November 2025.

This draft Recommendation aims to provide monitoring parameters for service
function orchestration based on service function chaining, and ensures the
availability and service experience of SFCs through joint monitoring of the
service layer, orchestration layer, control layer, and infrastructure layer.

ITU-T Study Group 11 looks forward to keeping continued collaboration and
exchanging information with SG13 and IETF SPRING on this topic.
