<TITLE>RE: Quick question on a Request for package registration</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>3GPP is a public forum, and I believe their packages would be viewed as public. I'll note that it is desirable that the packages be considered technically stable (though perhaps subject to some editing and minor adjustment) before they are registered.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I've copied various parties for coordination purposes.</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Tom,</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Quick question. Which range should these packages be registered in?</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Do I need to ask the applicants if these are public or private?</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> From the RFC:</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Public packages MUST be given serial numbers in the range 0x0001 to</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> 0x7fff. Private packages MUST be given serial numbers in the range</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> 0x8000 to 0xffff.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> Thanks for any help. If there is someone better to ask, please let me</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> know. Don't want to bug you :)</FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> I am the editor for a 3rd Generation Partnership Project </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> (3GPP) protocol</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> specification which defines extensions to the H.248/MeGaCo </FONT>

<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> "The present document describes the protocol to be used on </FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>> the Media Gateway</FONT>
