I am also enthusiastic about the area

I am also concerned about the name. This is basically (not absolutely!) 
about what is in and around SIP, and not everything in SIP is in 
"real-time", with GEOPRIV being one of them. Yet, I believe GEOPRIV should 
be in this new area as there are many of the same faces in the ECRIT, 
GEOPRIV and SIP/SIPPING/SIMPLE WGs. This tells me there is a commonality 
between them such that they ought to be in the same area.

Perhaps something like "Rich Media Apps" Area, shortened to the "Media 
Area" in discussions.
