	Title           : Signaling TO Prevent SPIT (SPITSTOP) Reference Scenario

This memo discusses the need for standards that support SPam over
Internet Telephony (SPIT) prevention applications.  After explaining
the general need for SPIT prevention applications the memo provides a
reference scenario for potential communication between entities that
may be involved in SPIT prevention.  Within this scenario the need
for standardizing communication is analyzed for each pair of
communicating entities.  The analysis is intended to serve as a
starting point for discussing the requirements for signaling
standards as well as for architectural considerations, that support
SPIT prevention applications.

This memo is not intended to suggest any solution of SPIT signaling
issues.  Such work, if necessary at all, should be object of separate
documents.

NOTE:   The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
