[Sip] Making sense of the SIP author drafts

(as WG chair)

I have been attempting to make sense of the large number of author drafts out there which in some manner impact SIP. I have three categories:

-	Bugfixes (documents which may fall into the criteria identified in draft-drage-sip-essential-correction-01)
-	SIP extensions (which need to be SIP charter items due to RFC 3427)
-	Security (all SIP security issues are normally dealt with in the SIP WG, even if INFORMATIONAL)

Plus one where I don't know where to put the document.

The lists follow, but the information I need (from the authors if noone else is)

-	does the document belong or not belong in the SIP group as a result of this analysis?
-	have I categorised this correctly?
-	have I missed any drafts that should be here?
-	for the SIP extensions is there a document out there which lists the requirements, and if so, which document is it? By this I mean a some text, totally independent of the proposed solution which:

	identifies the need for a mechanism (A mechanism is needed such that ...)
	provides requirements (The mechanism MUST/SHOULD/MAY support ...)

Note that if such text does not exist, I strongly suggest that authors of SIP extensions with RFC 3427 impact think about providing such text if they want their document to progress, or else provide a rational explanation of why it is not needed. Such text may well belong with the SIPPING group for prior discussion.

None of the above implies any commitment of the SIP WG or IETF to further the work on such drafts, but I suspect if it is not complete on my list, with the information as requested above, then nothing is going to happen with it.

Regards

Keith
