The IESG has approved publication of the Internet-Draft 'A Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP) Event Package for Registrations'
<draft-ietf-sipping-reg-event-00.txt> as a Proposed Standard.  This
document is the product of the Session Initiation Proposal
Investigation Working Group.

The IESG contact persons are Allison Mankin and Scott Bradner.
 
 
Technical Summary
 
      This document defines a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) event
      package for registrations. Through its REGISTER method, SIP
      allows a user agent to create, modify, and delete registrations.
      Registrations can also be altered by administrators in order to
      enforce policy. As a result, these registrations represent a
      piece of state in the network that can change dynamically. There
      are many cases where a user agent would like to be notified of
      changes in this state. This event package defines a mechanism by
      which those user agents can request and obtain such
      notifications. The mechanism has many practical uses and security
      considerations have been worked out with some care.
