Ballot Text

Technical Summary

The SIP event notification framework describes the usage of the
Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) for subscriptions and notifications
of changes to a state of a resource.  The initial specification did not describe
a mechanism for filtering event notifications.   Filtering is a mechanism for 
defining the preferred notification information to be delivered and for
specifying  triggers that cause that information to be delivered.  In order to 
enable this, a format is needed to enable the subscriber to choose when
notifications are to be sent to it and what they are to contain.
This document presents a solution in the form of an XML document
format.
