Bob,
What's your point? :)
Looking at the various questions, "relationships" describe what is wanted from the group, rather than the entire scope of their operation.
If your concern relates to SG13 and their role with IP, ITU central seems to support them in that role.
Study Group 16's "Area of Responsibility" is, unfortunately, "For further study" - it should probably be "studied": http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/com16/area_resp.html
Also, in the "Questions under study", there is no mention of IP, and scant reference to the Internet: http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/com16/questions-text.html
Study Group 13's "Home Page" includes "Lead Study Group on General network aspects, Global Information Infrastructures (GII), Broadband ISDN and IP related aspects.": http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/com13/
Study Group 13's "Questions under study" has several references to IP: http://www.itu.int/ITU-T/com13/questions-text.html
It would appear that SG16 is involved in "Packet Networks", of which the Internet and IP is but one.
A valid question would focus on whether the 21/15 question should restrict itself to IP, or cover packet networks in general. Will their recommendations only apply to SG16 equipment when connected to an IP network?
SG16 should not lose sight of the other packet network protocols.
How does this concept impact on H.gcp?

This is an interesting view of the IP world
SG 16 - speech coding and interworking protocols SG 13 - lead group on overall IP issues SG 11 - signaling issues SG 4 - administration IETF - sigtran, megaco and iptel Working Groups
I don't think that this is our view, is it?
