	Title		: Requirements for Local Conference Control

In a variety of conferencing scenarios, a local communication channel
is desirable for conference-related information exchange between co-
located but otherwise independent application entities, for example
those taking part in application sessions that belong to the same
conference.  In loosely coupled conferences such a mechanism allows
for coordination of applications entities to e.g. implement
synchronization between media streams or to configure entities
without user interaction. It can also be used to implement tightly
coupled conferences enabling a conference controller to enforce
conference wide control within a end system.
This document defines application scenarios and requirements for a
coordination infrastructure that provides local coordination within a
conferencing end system.
This document is intended for discussion in the Multiparty Multimedia
Session Control (MMUSIC) working group of the Internet Engineering
Task Force.  Comments are solicited and should be addressed to the
working group's mailing list at [e-mail] and/or the authors.

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.
