One issue I was discussing with my BT colleagues was installing an open framework for extensibility and feature negotiation into H.323v3. The motivation for this was to enable transport of SS7, but also other protocols such as DPNSS, (is CAS a digital one?) and so on. If we were to go ahead I guess we would have presented something in Berlin.
Given that September is fast approaching waiting for such a scheme to transport things like SS7 does not seem too onerous.
Unfortunately my colleagues are out this week, but I will attach the latest text so that people can have early sight of it.

Pete

Folks,
We may attempt to decide H.323v3 in September and determine version 4 in February. Mr. Skran has asked that I post the current draft so that people can review the document. This document must be delivered to the ITU by 30 June 1999. (Please note that Annex C/H.323 is also a candidate for
decision
in Septemer.)
This document contains only minor editorial changes to the document that
was
determined in Santiago. Nonetheless, I encourage you to review the
document
for any errors or omissions.
The change marks indicate all changes that have been made since version 2.
Please direct any comments on the document to me.
The document can be found here:
