On the other hand, VAP is a very simple way to modularize what is happening inside a domain. VAP allows information about PSTN call to be given to the server doing the VIPR stuff and allows the VIPR server to tell routing engines and PBX inside the domain about new routes.

I do not plan to implement VAP and so will not be able to contribute on this
protocol if the WG choose to work on it.  So for what I am concerned, VAP does
not need to be in the charter, and I think that resources will be better spent
working of stuff that directly affects interoperability (and with SIP in the
equation there will be no shortage of interop issue).

This said, the VAP I-D is a mandatory reading to understand the behavior of a
ViPR server, so there will be at least a need to split the VAP protocol from the
ViPR server behavior.
