No,
I am interested in scenarios where both ends may be impacted by the 
implementation
of the new mechanism to be developed;
of course in the case an impact is required, I do think the design 
should consider a fall back for the case the other
peer does not implement it (e.g. a legacy UA)

yes, that was the sense of the room, but
any decision made at a face-to-face meeting must also gain consensus on 
the WG mailing list.

work of a loosely-coupled coordination scenario,
where no single device needs to remain in the session for its entire 
duration
and no single device needs to act as master...
is still something that I personally find interesting to be investigated
