Technical Summary
A portion of the document's abstract:
This document aims to identify how Operator and Information Services
can be implemented using existing or currently proposed SIP
mechanisms, to identity existing protocol gaps, and to provide a set
of Best Current Practices to facilitate interoperability. For
Operator Services, the intention is to describe how current operator
services can continue to be provided to PSTN based subscribers via a
SIP based operator services architecture. It also looks at how
current operator services might be provided to SIP based subscribers
via such an architecture, but does not consider the larger question
of the need for or usefulness or suitability of each of these
services for SIP based subscribers

RFC Editor Note
The IESG has concluded that publication could potentially disrupt
the IETF work done in the DISPATCH working group and recommends
not publishing the document at this time.
The IESG has further concluded that this work is related to IETF
work being done in the MEDIACTRL working group, but this relationship
does not prevent publishing.
This document defines the use of an "oli" parameter for tel URIs, pointing
to TS24229 for the definition of the parameter. There is ongoing community
discussion in the DISPATCH Working group about whether to define the parameter
using the official process required for tel URIs or to solve the problem using
a different mechanism.
The document hypothesizes a set of solutions noting that the "newly formed
MEDIACTRL working group" might consider them. The MEDIACTRL working group is
now nearing completion and has addressed the problems in ways different from
those proposed in the document. This relationship does not prevent publication.
If after review the RFC Editor does intend to publish this document, the IESG would like the opportunity
to include an "IESG Note" with this document explaining the specific relationship this document has
to IETF work.
