Re: [dispatch] Proposed charter for work on logging

Peter has suggested a minor modification to the charter text (which he also plans to make to the abstract of the requirements document).

   SIP networks use signalling monitoring tools to diagnose user
   reported problem and for regression testing if network or client
   software is upgraded.  As networks grow and become interconnected,
   including connection via transit networks, it becomes impractical to
   predict the path that SIP signalling will take between clients, and
   therefore impractical to monitor SIP signalling end-to-end.

   This work will provide for adding an indicator to the SIP
   protocol which can be used to mark signalling as of interest to logging.
   Such marking will typically be applied as part of network testing
   controlled by the network operator and not used in regular client
   signalling.  However, such marking can be carried end-to-end
   including the SIP terminals, even if a session originates and
   terminates in different networks.

The change is in the 2nd paragraph, changing "subject to" to "of interest to".

Keith
