Hi!
I would like to highlight the reason of "H.323-XXX" work
in ITU-T as described in the initial paper.
H.323 is NOT new to Internet. Internet is evolving and
new specifications in "IP telephony" area are being defined in IETF. This
is a time to consider each one of these specifications to be applied to H.323.
If found useful from technical point of view (as a kind of Back End Services) or
just as required for interworking purposes (such as H.323-SIP
scenarios), standard definitions for H.323 should be formulated. These two
are connected since the first definitely helps the second.
The written above agenda is a proposal for the work
scope. Based on our discussions, it seems like more then one company would like
to see this work beyond the topic of H.323-SIP interoperability. (forget the
name :-) ) If we agree that standardization is needed for this kind of work, the
only possible way to do it is to participate in ITU-T process (with
all its meaning).
Currently we are in the beginning of the process sorting
out topics of our interest. I think most of us are aware of the work being done
in other organizations. We would like to see experts (including from TIPHON and
IETF) presenting their concepts to ITU (starting from the mailing list)
keeping us from repeating their work and being aligned with them.
Best Regards,
