All,

I would like to invite all interested parties to join a new mailing list to discuss H.323 implementation issues. Jeff Pulver has kindly agreed to host the new list at pulver.com. To join, send a mail to majordomo@pulver.com with the subject blank and the text "subscribe h323implementors" in the body of the mail. You should then receive instructions on usage of the list.

The new list exists purely to discuss H.323 implementation issues, much as the IMTC's H.323 implementors list has in the past, including implementation discussion on H.225.0, H.245, H.235, H.450.x and all other standards in the H.323 "raft". The reason for the existence of the new list is the IMTC's move to making their mailing lists "closed" (ie open only to members of the IMTC, excluding a number of people with a lot of H.323 knowledge).

Note that the implementors list has distinct aims and objectives from this list. The implementors list offers help to people implementing current standards, while this list looks towards future development of the standards. Issues are sometimes raised on the implementors list, however, that lead eventually to improvements in the standards, normally via this list and the implementor's guide.

I look forward to seeing you on the new list.
