The IESG has received a request from the Selection of Language for
Internet Media WG (slim) to consider the following document:
- 'Negotiating Human Language in Real-Time Communications'
<draft-ietf-slim-negotiating-human-language-06.txt> as Proposed
Standard
The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits
final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2017-02-20. Exceptionally, comments may be
sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the
beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.
Abstract
Users have various human (natural) language needs, abilities, and
preferences regarding spoken, written, and signed languages. When
establishing interactive communication ("calls") there needs to be a
way to negotiate (communicate and match) the caller's language and
media needs with the capabilities of the called party. This is
especially important with emergency calls, where a call can be
handled by a call taker capable of communicating with the user, or a
translator or relay operator can be bridged into the call during
setup, but this applies to non-emergency calls as well (as an
example, when calling a company call center).
This document describes the need and a solution using new SDP stream
attributes.
