The IESG has received a request from the Session Initiation Protocol WG (sip) to consider the following document: - 'A Framework for Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Session Policies ' <draft-ietf-sip-session-policy-framework-05.txt> as a Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. The framework described in this specification is designed such that SIP call control elements, including proxies and SBCs, can assert policy to control session policies such as what codecs an UA is allowed to use for a given session, amount of bandwidth allowed, and to "steer" the media through particular relay points. If people feel this draft is not an appropriate framework to solve theses problems for SIP sessions, or feel that alternative mechanisms other than the types contemplated in this framework need to be developed, the IESG would like to receive comments on that. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2008-12-05. 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. The file can be obtained via http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-sip-session-policy-framework-05.txt IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/pidtracker.cgi?command=view_id&dTag=15389&rfc_flag=0 _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
