These drafts discuss some general unified messaging (UM) client issues that I think would be worth discussing at both the FAX and VPIM WGs.

After some discussion, I suggest we need to decide between the following:
a) create a new BOF/WG to work on UM
b) recharter VPIM and/or FAX to work on this
c) close and combine VPIM and FAX into a new UM WG to work on this and remaining VPIM/FAX topics

It is clear that the VPIM and Fax working groups have been pursuing some topics that are more generally than the immediate scope of voice or fax messaging.  Consequently, some set of adjustments probably should be made.

However their is a considerable danger in making such changes, namely that the new/integrated effort might have a scope that is not sufficiently clear and/or is too broad.

Therefore I would strongly suggest that discussion about a change NOT be based a general discussion but, rather, on a specific proposal in the form of a draft charter.

If we can agree on charter language that specifies a clear, concise and useful scope of work, then making the change will be obviously correct.

ps.  I would offer draft text but do not feel that I know enough about the work that is being proposed.
