Re: [Megaco] Agenda For The Meeting

[Christian Groves <[e-mail]>]

G'Day Tom,

Seeing you invited us to start off discussion on the list on the items
below....

With regards to H.248v2 I think the main thing to consider is the time
frame. I believe the itention of approving H.248v2 in Feb2002 is so that
we can produce a relatively clean version of H.248. I think the
implementors' guide has gone a long way to improve the specification and
I think that a version 2 is needed to capture all these changes as well
as other improvements to make the protocol more efficient: ie. auditing
individual properties, transaction pending handling, package extension
of descriptors etc.. 

As for rules for content I'm not sure that we can mandate anything. My
feeling is that H248v2 shouldn't be for large amounts of completely new
functionality but its hard to preclude anything before seeing the idea.
I think its largely a process issue. I don't think any new functionality
should be presented to the February SG16 meeting that hasn't been seen
and agreed to before that time. I think the main thing which needs to be
agreed is a commitment to a february approval date. We can then work
backwards to see when documents should be ready for review etc.

With regards to the drafts list below do you intend to address all of
these at the meeting? I think looking at the MIB is worthwhile. Some of
the other drafts I don't think there's much of a point ie. >
draft-ietf-megaco-h248f-01.txt  as its already published as an Annex to
H.248. Perhaps its just worthwhile going through the Packages Supplement
and making people aware at the meeting what packages are out there?

Regards, Christian
