I second Greg's opinion, and am in favor of the "more focused" view of this
effort.

Subject: RE: [VPIM] ID-ACTIONs on UM
I would like to see more time at the IETF to discuss the launch of this
effort. I suggest we find 1/2 day or so for a "rolling bar bof" to organize
potential topics in advance of the formal voice and fax WG meetings. One
output could be a strawman charter for a new group.
I am particularly interested in a working group specifically chartered to
augment, profile, or otherwise create standards that would make it possible
to build a VOICEMAIL telephone user interface that can communicate with a
conforming message store, message submission server, and directory server.
The suported applications would be telephone answering (play greeting, take
message) and message retreival. In my mind, I envison work on IMAP, SMTP,
and an LDAP schema to replicate the current industry-standard functionality.
I am supportive of broading this effort to include telephone user interface
applications to include common unified messaging elements such as the
ability to distinguish between messages of different contexts for the
purposes of sorting, foldering, and notification.
If the SNAP work is not completed by then, I would expect that work would
also fit within the charter of this group.
What I am not interested in is a general-porpose "unified messaging" working
group focused on the many other problems in this evolving application space.
That said, I believe the extensions we will require for telephone user
interface usage would be generally useful. I offer this restriction in the
spirit of a narrow focus that has potential to be sucessfully addressed.

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.
