The IESG has received a request from an individual submitter to consider the following document: - 'Indicating Fax over IP Capability in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)' <draft-hanes-dispatch-fax-capability-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 2012-12-27. 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 defines and registers with IANA the new 'fax' media feature tag for use with SIP. Currently, fax calls are indistinguishable from voice at call initiation. Consequently, fax calls can be routed to SIP user agents that are not fax capable. A 'fax' media feature tag implemented in conjunction with caller preferences allows for more accurate fax call routing. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-hanes-dispatch-fax-capability/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-hanes-dispatch-fax-capability/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
