David Kessens stated (amongst other things): > As for the benefits, I see that we would give more well > deserved attention to an important area of work within the > IETF. In this very area the IETF was once able in a relatively short period of time to overtake the ITU, with SIP becoming preferable to H.323 . But a small (and now very wealthy) group has developed, in a even shorter period of time, a proprietary system that has overtaken IETF mechanisms (both in capabilities and market acceptance). If this is not deemed sufficient justification for the IETF to concentrate on this area, then we can sit back and let nonstandardized technologies take over.
