Folks,
Time is getting on and we seem to be lost in the details. Before we show up
for our VPIM meeting at the 47th IETF in Adelaide, I think we need to have a
clearer picture of what folks think are the goals for what we are trying to
do here. Specifically, I am talking about the VPIM v3 / Internet Voice Mail
effort.
We have a VPIM v3 Goals document <draft-ema-vpimv3-goals-00.txt> that is
outdated. We received some good comments on that (privately), but our
author Laile has not yet produced a revision. We also have three different
versions of the VPIM v3 / IVM protocol which take different approaches to
the problem -- some would say to different problems...
So I would like us to step back for a bit and suggest what we believe the
goals of the VPIM v3 effort are. For example, are we looking to provide a
ubiquitous client interworking or is that a local server issue. This is
essentially a checkpoint to ensure that we indeed do agree on what problem
we are trying to solve. We certainly want to avoid trying to solve all the
problems.
I encourage you to send you views on our goals to the IETF VPIM list. You
can start from scratch or use the original Goals document as a target.
I would suggest that we would start off the VPIM v3 discussion at the
Adelaide meeting with a confirmation of these goals.
Cheers,
Glenn.
