	Title		: Change Process for the Session Initiation Protocol 
                          (SIP)

The IETF's Session Initiation Protocol (SIP, RFC 3261), was
originally developed for initiation of multimedia sessions.  Internet
multimedia, voice over IP, IP telephony, and SIP, have become quite
popular, both inside IETF and in consideration by other standards
groups, and the applications of SIP have grown.  The task for IETF
management of SIP has been to steer SIP to its core strengths,
applications that it does best.  One result of popularity has been a
continual flood of suggestions for SIP modifications and extensions.
This memo describes how the Transport Area directors along with the
SIP and SIPPING working group chairs have decided to deal with such
suggestions.   The effects of adding new features, often in a case
where a point solution is sought, can be to damage security or to
greatly increase complexity.  Therefore this memo documents a process
intended to apply architectural discipline to the future development
of SIP.

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.
