Technical Summary
This memo documents a process intended to apply architectural
discipline to the future development of the Session Initiation
Protocol (SIP). There have been concerns with regards to new SIP
proposals. Specifically, that the addition of new SIP features can be
damaging towards security and/or greatly increase the complexity of
the protocol. The Real-Time Applications and Infrastructure (RAI)
Area Directors (ADs), in consultation with RAI Area participants and
working group chairs, have provided guidance for SIP modifications
and extensions.
Working Group Summary
Although this is not a product of any working group, it received
considerable attention on the RAI Area mailing list, as well as
face time in RAI area meetings. The mailing list supports the
advancement of this specification.
Document Quality
The document has received extended review on the RAI mailing list.
Personnel
Jon Peterson is the document shepherd.
The document requires the appointment of a designated expert; the
RAI ADs propose that the experts be the chairs of the SIPCORE
working group (currently Adam Roach and Gonzalo Camarillo).
