Internet-Draft           INVITE-Contained Lists            November 2007

1.  Introduction

   Section 5.4 of [RFC4579] describes how to create a conference using
   ad-hoc SIP [RFC3261] methods.  The client sends an INVITE request to
   a conference factory URI and receives the actual conference URI,
   which contains the "isfocus" feature tag, in the Contact header field
   of a response - typically a 200 (OK) response.

   Once the UAC (User Agent Client) obtains the conference URI, it can
   add participants to the newly created conference in several ways,
   which are described in [RFC4579].

   Some environments have tough requirements regarding conference
   establishment time.  They require the UAC to be able to request the
   creation of an ad-hoc conference and to provide the conference server
   with the initial set of participants in a single operation.  This
   document describes how to meet this requirement using the mechanism
   to transport URI-lists in SIP messages described in
   [I-D.ietf-sipping-uri-services].

2.  Terminology

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].

3.  User Agent Client Procedures

   A UAC that wants to include the set of initial participants in its
   initial INVITE request to create an ad-hoc conference, adds a body
   whose disposition type is 'recipient-list', as defined in
   [I-D.ietf-sipping-uri-services], with a URI-list that contains the
   participants that the UAC wants the conference server to invite.
   Additionally, the UAC MUST include the 'recipient-list-invite'
   option-tag, which is registered with the IANA in Section 8 in a
   Require header field.  The UAC sends this INVITE request to the
   conference factory URI.

   The INVITE transaction is also part of an offer/answer exchange that
   will establish a session between the UAC and the conference server,
   as specified in [RFC4579].  Therefore, the INVITE request may need to
   carry a multipart body: a session description and a URI list.

Internet-Draft           INVITE-Contained Lists            November 2007

3.1.  Response Handling

   The status code in the response to the INVITE request does not
   provide any information about whether or not the conference server
   was able to bring the users in the URI-list into the conference.
   That is, a 200 (OK) response means that the conference was created
   successfully, that the UAC that generated the INVITE request is in
   the conference, and that the server understood the URI-list.  If the
   UAC wishes to obtain information about the status of other users in
   the conference it SHOULD use general conference mechanisms, such as
   the conference package, which is defined in [RFC4575].

3.2.  Re-INVITE Request Generation

   The previous sections have specified how to include a URI-list in an
   initial INVITE request to a conference server.  Once the INVITE-
   initiated dialog between the UAC and the conference server has been
   established, the UAC can send subsequent INVITE requests (typically
   referred to as re-INVITE requests) to the conference server to, for
   example, modify the characteristics of the media exchanged with the
   server.

   At this point, there are no semantics associated with resource-list
   bodies in re-INVITE requests (although future extensions may define
   them).  Therefore, UACs SHOULD NOT include resource-list bodies in
   re-INVITE requests sent to a conference server.

      Note that a difference between an initial INVITE request and a re-
      INVITE request is that while the initial INVITE request is sent to
      the conference factory URI, the re-INVITE request is sent to the
      URI provided by the server in a Contact header field when the
      dialog was established.  Therefore, from the UAC's point of view,
      the resource identified by the former URI supports 'recipient-
      list' bodies while the resource identified by the latter does not
      support them.

4.  URI-List Document Format

   As described in [I-D.ietf-sipping-uri-services], specifications of
   individual URI-list services, like the conferencing service described
   here, need to specify a default format for 'recipient-list' bodies
   used within the particular service.

   The default format for 'recipient-list' bodies for conferencing UAs
   (User Agents) is the XML resource list format (which is specified in
   [RFC4826]) extended with the XML Format Extension for Representing
   Copy Control Attributes in Resource Lists (which is specified in

Camarillo & Johnston      Expires May 16, 2008                  [Page 4]
Internet-Draft           INVITE-Contained Lists            November 2007

   [I-D.ietf-sipping-capacity-attribute]).  Consequently, conferencing
   UACs generating 'recipient-list' bodies MUST support both of these
   formats and MAY support other formats.  Conferencing servers able to
   handle 'recipient-list' bodies MUST support both of these formats and
   MAY support other formats.

   As described in the XML Format Extension for Representing Copy
   Control Attributes in Resource Lists (which is specified in
   [I-D.ietf-sipping-capacity-attribute]), each URI can be tagged with a
   'copyControl' attribute set to either "to", "cc", or "bcc",
   indicating the role in which the recipient will get the INVITE
   request.  Additionally, URIs can be tagged with the 'anonymize'
   attribute to prevent that the conference server discloses the target
   URI in a URI-list.

   In addition, the XML Format Extension for Representing Copy Control
   Attributes in Resource Lists (which is specified in
   [I-D.ietf-sipping-capacity-attribute]) defines a 'recipient-list-
   history' body that contains the list of recipients.  The default
   format for 'recipient-list-history' bodies for conferencing UAs is
   also the XML resource list document format specified in [RFC4826]
   extended with the XML Format Extension for Representing Copy Control
   Attributes in Resource Lists specified in
   [I-D.ietf-sipping-capacity-attribute].  Consequently, conferencing
   UACs able to generate 'recipient-list-history' bodies MUST support
   these formats and MAY support others.  Conferencing UAs able to
   understand 'recipient-list-history' MUST support these formats and
   MAY support others.  Conferencing servers able to handle 'recipient-
   list-history' bodies MUST support these formats and MAY support
   others.

   Nevertheless, the XML resource list document specified in [RFC4826]
   provides features, such as hierarchical lists and the ability to
   include entries by reference relative to the XCAP root URI, that are
   not needed by the conferencing service defined in this document,
   which only needs to transfer a flat list of URIs between a UA (User
   Agent) and the conference server.  Therefore, when using the default
   resource list document, conferencing UAs SHOULD use flat lists (i.e.,
   no hierarchical lists) and SHOULD NOT use <entry-ref> elements.  A
   conference factory application receiving a URI-list with more
   information than what has just been described MAY discard all the
   extra information.

   Figure 1 shows an example of a flat list that follows the XML
   resource list document (specified in [RFC4826]) extended with the XML
   Format Extension for Representing Copy Control Attributes in Resource
   Lists (specified in [I-D.ietf-sipping-capacity-attribute]).

5.  Conference Server Procedures

   Conference servers that are able to receive and process INVITE
   requests with a 'recipient-list' body SHOULD include a 'recipient-
   list-invite' option-tag in a Supported header field when responding
   to OPTIONS requests.

   On reception of an INVITE request containing a 'recipient-list' body
   as described in Section 3, a conference server MUST follow the rules
   described in [RFC4579] to create ad-hoc conferences.  Once the ad-hoc
   conference is created, the conference server SHOULD attempt to add
   the participants in the URI-list to the conference as if their
   addition had been requested using any of the methods described in
   [RFC4579].

   The INVITE transaction is also part of an offer/answer exchange that
   will establish a session between the UAC and the conference server,
   as specified in [RFC4579].  Therefore, the INVITE request may carry a
   multipart body: a session description and a URI list.

   Once the conference server has created the ad-hoc conference and has
   attempted to add the initial set of participants, the conference
   server behaves as a regular conference server and MUST follow the
   rules in [RFC4579].

   The incoming INVITE request will contain a URI-list body or reference
   (as specified in [I-D.ietf-sipping-uri-services]) with the actual
   list of recipients.  If this URI-list includes resources tagged with
   the 'copyControl' attribute set to a value of "to" or "cc", the
   conference server SHOULD include a URI-list in each of the outgoing
   INVITE requests.  This list SHOULD be formatted according to the XML
   format for representing resource lists (specified in [RFC4826]) and
   the copyControl extension specified in
   [I-D.ietf-sipping-capacity-attribute].  The URI-list service MUST
   follow the procedures specified in

Camarillo & Johnston      Expires May 16, 2008                  [Page 6]
Internet-Draft           INVITE-Contained Lists            November 2007

   [I-D.ietf-sipping-capacity-attribute] with respect to the handling of
   the 'anonymize', 'count' and 'copyControl' attributes.

   If the conference server includes a URI-list in an outgoing INVITE
   request, it MUST include a Content-Disposition header field (which is
   specified in [RFC2183]) with the value set to 'recipient-list-
   history' and a 'handling' parameter (as specified in [RFC3204]) set
   to "optional".

5.1.  Re-INVITE Request Handling

   At this point, there are no semantics associated with resource-list
   bodies in re-INVITE requests (although future extensions may define
   them).  Therefore, a conference server receiving a re-INVITE request
   with a resource-list body and, consequently, a 'recipient-list-
   invite' option-tag, following standard SIP procedures, rejects it
   with a 420 (Bad Extension), which carries an Unsupported header field
   listing the 'recipient-list-invite' option-tag.

      This is because the resource identified by the conference URI does
      not actually support this extension.  On the other hand, the
      resource identified by the conference factory URI does support
      this extension and, consequently, would include the 'recipient-
      list-invite' option-tag in, for example, responses to OPTIONS
      requests.

6.  Example

   Figure 2 shows an example of operation.  A UAC sends an INVITE
   request (F1) that contains an SDP body and a URI-list to the
   conference server.  The conference server answers with a 200 (OK)
   response and generates an INVITE request to each of the UASs (USer
   Agent Servers) identifies by the URIs included in the URI-list.  The
   conference server includes SDP and a manipulated URI-list in each of
   the outgoing INVITE requests.

        Figure 3: INVITE request received at the conference server

   The INVITE requests F3, F4, and F5 are similar in nature.  All those
   INVITE requests contain a multipart/mixed body which is composed of
   two other bodies: an application/sdp body describing the session and
   an application/resource-lists+xml containing the list of recipients.
   The application/resource-lists+xml bodies are not equal to the
   application/resource-lists+xml included in the received INVITE
   request F1, because the conference server has anonymized those URIs
   tagged with the 'anonymize' attribute and has removed those URIs
   tagged with a "bcc" 'copyControl' attribute.  Figure 4 shows an
   example of the message F3.

7.  Security Considerations

   This document discusses setup of SIP conferences using a request-
   contained URI-list.  Both conferencing and URI-lists services have
   specific security requirements which will be summarized here.
   Conferences generally have authorization rules about who can or
   cannot join a conference, what type of media can or cannot be used,
   etc.  This information is used by the focus to admit or deny
   participation in a conference.  It is RECOMMENDED that these types of
   authorization rules be used to provide security for a SIP conference.

   For this authorization information to be used, the focus needs to be
   able to authenticate potential participants.  Normal SIP mechanisms
   including Digest authentication and certificates can be used.  These
   conference specific security requirements are discussed further in
   the requirements and framework documents.

   For conference creation using a list, there are some additional
   security considerations.  The Framework and Security Considerations
   for SIP URI-List Services (which is documented in
   [I-D.ietf-sipping-uri-services]) discusses issues related to SIP URI-
   list services.  Given that a conference server sending INVITE
   requests to a set of users acts as an URI-list service,
   implementations of conference servers that handle lists MUST follow
   the security-related rules in [I-D.ietf-sipping-uri-services].  These
   rules include mandatory authentication and authorization of clients,
   and opt-in lists.

8.  IANA Considerations

   This document defines the 'recipient-list-invite' SIP option-tag.  It
   should be registered in the Option Tags subregistry under the SIP
   parameter registry.  The following is the description to be used in
   the registration.

   +------------------------+------------------------------+-----------+
   | Name                   | Description                  | Reference |
   +------------------------+------------------------------+-----------+
   | recipient-list-invite  | The body contains a list of  | [RFCXXXX] |
   |                        | URIs that indicates the      |           |
   |                        | recipients of the SIP INVITE |           |
   |                        | request                      |           |
   +------------------------+------------------------------+-----------+
