Nothing has changed. Endpoint signalling protocols have always been of concern to media gateway controller vendors and their customers, by definition.

I agree. There appears to be a large discussion in navdec about media gateway controllers terminating the end device/terminal signaling protocol (i.e.-H.323, SIP) and talking to the end device via a media gateway control protocol (e.g.-MGCP). That discussion group would be interested in knowing all variations of signaling

intended for endpoints so that it can assure that the control protocol is extended to be able to deal with such changes. Any and all changes or additions to such endpoint signaling protocols are now of interest to media gateway controller vendors and their customers.

Since there is a lot of parallel going on in the IETF, maybe you should also announce it on their mailing groups (e.g. Sigtran, Navdec, ipTel) should be exposed to this information?
