From: The IESG To: IETF-Announce Message-Id: Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2005 17:28:39 -0400 Cc: sipping chair , Internet Architecture Board , sipping chair , sipping mailing list , sipping chair , RFC Editor Subject: [Sipping] Protocol Action: 'A Framework for Application Interaction in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)' to Proposed Standard The IESG has approved the following document: - 'A Framework for Application Interaction in the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) ' as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Session Initiation Proposal Investigation Working Group. The IESG modified the intended status of this document from BCP to PS, as RFC 2026 Section 6.1.2 permits, due to degree to which it presents an interoperable protocol specification, rather than material closer to the definition of a BCP. The IESG contact persons are Allison Mankin and Jon Peterson. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-sipping-app-interaction-framework-05.txt Technical Summary This document describes a framework for the interaction between users and Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) based applications. By interacting with applications, users can guide the way in which they operate. The focus of this framework is stimulus signaling, which allows a user agent to interact with an application without knowledge of the semantics of that application. Stimulus signaling can occur to a user interface running locally with the client, or to a remote user interface, through media streams. Stimulus signaling encompasses a wide range of mechanisms, ranging from clicking on hyperlinks, to pressing buttons, to traditional Dual Tone Multi Frequency (DTMF) input. In all cases, stimulus signaling is supported through the use of markup languages, which play a key role in this framework. Working Group Summary The working group was confident about this draft's overall framework. It spent a long time reviewing and getting all the details correct. Protocol Quality Allison Mankin is the Responsible Area Director. The wg chair shepherd for the document is Rohan Mahy. Notes to RFC Editor Insert after the Abstract an un-numbered section Conventions Used In This Document The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC2119 [1]. Insert a normative reference [1] to RFC 2119, and (sorry) move all the other normative references down. We need to place the message against numeric citations more prominently. This AD and this AD's WG Chairs do not remember it.
