The NG9-1-1 Interoperability Task Force is an entirely independent organization. It is led by representatives from private- and public-sector organizations, including many government agencies, who make up the various committees.

One key goal of the NG9-1-1 Interoperability Task Force is to establish open-source testing scripts based on the existing NG9-1-1 standards. Key profiles will be established and utilized in the scripts to ensure conformance where ambiguity may exist.

The NG9-1-1 Interoperability Task Force (ITF, or Task Force) is not a part of NENA.
