The IESG has received a request from the Session Initiation Protocol Core WG (sipcore) to consider the following document: - 'SIP-Specific Event Notification' <draft-ietf-sipcore-rfc3265bis-07.txt> as a 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 2012-04-03. 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 This document describes an extension to the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP). The purpose of this extension is to provide an extensible framework by which SIP nodes can request notification from remote nodes indicating that certain events have occurred. Note that the event notification mechanisms defined herein are NOT intended to be a general-purpose infrastructure for all classes of event subscription and notification. This document represents a backwards-compatible improvement on the original mechanism described by RFC 3265, taking into account several years of implementation experience. Accordingly, this document obsoletes RFC 3265. This document also updates RFC 4660 slightly to accommodate some small changes to the mechanism that were discussed in that document. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sipcore-rfc3265bis/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-sipcore-rfc3265bis/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
