>As a place to start the discussions, I think we need the following

>New Protocols:
>*****************
>Interface A - Device Control Interface
>
>New H.246 Annexes:
>************************
>1) H.323 to Voice/Voiceband Terminals = The breakdown of the media. How
>DTMF
>is converted to/from UserInputIndication messages, etc. (There is a draft

>this in the current H.246 Annex B)
>2) H.323 to SS7 (Similar to Q.699 - a Q.931 to ISUP conversion spec)
>3) H.323 to Q.931 (Similar to the section in Annex A for H.320)
>
>Interface B, C, D
>********************
>For the Proposed Interfaces B, C, and D. Given that the messages passing
>across these interfaces must reflect all of the content of the signaling
>that the respective signaling functions receive from and send to extern
>entities, aren't these protocols modified or extended ISUP for Interface D,
>modified or extended Q.931 for Interface C, and modified or extended H.225
>for Interface B? For C & D, can they be the real protocols if carried on a
>T1 and some derivation of them if running over TCP/IP?

>Please try and get all attendee requests in by Monday the 19th at 12:00
