The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Dialstring parameter for the Session Initiation Protocol Uniform Resource Identifier ' <draft-rosen-iptel-dialstring-05.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document has been reviewed in the IETF but is not the product of an IETF Working Group. The IESG contact person is Jon Peterson. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-rosen-iptel-dialstring-05.txt Technical Summary This document provides a way of incorporating a dial string into the SIP or SIPS URI scheme. A dial string is a cousin of a telephone number, but rather than taking the form of a fully-qualified E.164 or national-specific telephone number, it is a description of a literal set of dialed digits that would be delivered over a POTS line. As such, it may include pauses, omit prefixes like area codes, and its applicability is necessarily restricted to a particular context (an enterprise, a LATA, etc). Support for dialstrings was formerly a feature of the tel: URI scheme specification (back in RFC2806); since that functionality did not make it into the revision (RFC3966), it is provided here specifically for the SIP and SIPS case. Working Group Summary Although this is an individual submission, it was discussed in the IPTEL WG and did not encounter any resistance. Protocol Quality This specification was reviewed for the IESG by Jon Peterson. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
