The IESG contact persons are Ted Hardie and Scott Hollenbeck. Technical Summary The SIP event notification framework describes the usage of the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) for subscriptions and notifications of changes to a state of a resource. The initial specification did not describe a mechanism for filtering event notifications. Filtering is a mechanism for defining the preferred notification information to be delivered and for specifying triggers that cause that information to be delivered. In order to enable this, a format is needed to enable the subscriber to choose when notifications are to be sent to it and what they are to contain. This document presents a solution in the form of an XML document format. Working Group Summary The SIMPLE working group came to consensus on this document. There were Last Call comments from the IETF community, and there were change incorporated into the document to reflect the responses to those comment.s Protocol Quality This document was reviewed for the IESG by Ted Hardie. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
