Hi Dan, The term peer to peer is intended to exclude mechanisms that would use a central repository for the information: This was discussed in an earlier thread: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dispatch/current/msg02027.html In one sense it is a solution, however, in another sense it is reusing SIP related functionality defined in RAI and thus is in a similar vein as specifying the use of SIP in a charter. Thanks, Mary.
