Docs for Decision (H.245, H.235, H.246, H.323)

[Pete Cordell]

Gary, Dale,

Will we be determining anything at the Geneva meeting?  We are looking
at the idea of having the ability to open an HTTP logical channel as
part of our future developments.  This would be used to support the call
centre environment among other things.  At the most the thoughts are a
bit patching and more work needs to be done over the future study
period, but the idea would be to declare an HTTP transmit capability in
the cap set.  A server could then ask a client to open a HTTP session to
a particular address using the RequestMode message  which would contain
a URL.  Since HTTP transactions are typically not persistent, doing the
OLC signalling does not seem appropriate.  This might be controversial
so it would be good to start getting people used to the idea!!!

If no determination will be done, is it worth bringing things like this
along as informational contributions?

At some point we also want to get to grips with the intergatekeeper
stuff.  We see this as particularly useful for instances of 'trunking'
between gatekeepers and between gatekeepers and large gateways.

Also, what time frame would we be talking about for these sorts of
additions in the next release?  I suppose one affects H.245 and the
other H.323/H.225.

Thanks,

Pete

>The Jan/Feb SG16 meeting is drawing near.

>Several recommendations are up for Decision at this meeting. In
>preparing for the meeting, I have asked the editors of the Q14
>recommendations to collect any changes to the White Contributions in a
>"Change Document" that can be submitedt to the SG16 meeting as a
>Delayed
>Contribution or a Temporary Document.
>
>Hopefully, any changes are minor or editorial. I do not know of any
>large or controversial issues.
>
>We need to submit these "Change Documents" about two weeks before the
>meeting so that they will be distributed as Delayed Contributions. If
>we
>then review/approve the change documents at the WP2 Plenary on Monday
>Jan 26, we should be able to have them approved at the Tues SG16
>Plenary.
>
>Editorial or typographical corrections should be sent directly to the
>editor. Any more significant changes should be discussed and agreed to
>on the reflector. These more significant changes should be limited to
>fixing things that are broken, and not propose new functionality.
>
>My goal is to sort out any controversial issues before we go to Geneva,
>and if necessary have a short, complete change document that everyone
>can agree, so that we can easily Decide the new recommendations.
