For July 10 agenda: draft-ietf-sipping-3gpp-r5-requirements-00.txt

[Allison Mankin <mankin@psg.com>]

Please place draft-ietf-sipping-3gpp-r5-requirements-00.txt for
Informational on the July 10 agenda.  I propose the following note
to be added to the front of the document.  It has been drafted
by the SIPPING WG chairs.

  The document "3rd-Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Release 5
  requirements on the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)" is advisory in
  nature. Its primary purpose is to help the IETF understand the IMS
  environment and the manner in which 3GPP envisions using SIP within
  that environment. Given this better understanding, we expect that the
  IETF can more effectively evolve the SIP protocol. The IETF will not
  respond to the requirements given in this document on a
  point-for-point basis. Some requiremements have been and/or will be
  met by extensions to the SIP protocol. Others may be addressed by
  effectively using existing  capabilities in SIP or other protocols,
  and we expect that individual members of the SIP community will work
  with 3GPP to achieve a better understanding of these mechanisms. Some
  of the requirements documented in this document may not = be addressed
  at all by the IETF, although we believe that the act of documenting
  and discussing them is in itself helpful in achieving a  better
  all-around understanding of the task at hand.
