Terry,
One option that would be reasonable (and we have done this before) is to add those new fields via the Implementers Guide when Annex R is decided.

Terry,
Just one comment -

I checked our changes in the white draft of H.225.0v4 and removed all our ASN.1 that has already been incorporated. I now show only changes that are still needed. I have not yet done the similar check with H.323v4.
I think we should consider whether to keep these fields in H.225.0 v4 since Annex R is not yet determined. We might want to keep the door open for further refinement of these fields before Annex R is decided. Maybe we should add these in H.225.0 v5, or we could add them between H.323 versions via the new genericData fields.
The discussion in Osaka was to add them but not be specific about their
use
("for further study") which is what you added in the "white". Are you now questioning that?
The problem is one of timing. Annex R is planned for determination in November but would depend on these fields. Annex R's decision would occur much before H.225.0v5. So the intent was to include in v4 those fields we know we need and have the two current Annex R procedures (Method A and Method B) stable for determination in November. We would have some flexibility in describing their usage in the Annex but could not add more fields until v5.
I am reluctant to use "genericData" unless we view that as permanent. Otherwise we end up having to exchange Annex R version numbers to decide where to put data, etc.
