RE: [XCON] CPCP Requirement: de-activating a conference

I don't like this idea because I think that we need a standardized interface
for scheduling and "external application server" sounds very proprietary to
me.  I guess I could be convinced we need a separate interface, with a
separate protocol (maybe it could be iCal), but I'm not yet convinced
just specifying a start time in the future isn't a sufficient reservation
mechanism.

Brian,
My suggestion is not to have reservation in the conference policy. The
conference policy is used by the focus according to the conference framework
and the focus is not the place for handling reservation. I think that
reservation is handled by an external application server that will start the
conference using CPCP at the time when the conference scheduled time has
arrived. The focus may use the conference duration information in order to
notify the participants that it the conference end-time is coming and
terminate the conference. Extension of the should be done using CPCP either
by the participant or an application server.

Again, I'm worried about "privileged users".  I think we need to finish
some discussions we started a while ago that essentially are semantics.
What is an "inactivated" conference, and how does it differ from a
conference that can be re-instantiated (a weekly meeting for example)?
