well, what I was in fact trying to get at was the need for characterizing the 
technical work, unless this really is merely splitting off a piece of apps 
work according to an interest group.  If there are distinguishing technical 
characteristics to the work being done, then its nature needs to be clear.

So far, references have been made to time-sensitive and to signalling, yet it 
is not clear how this applies to the work that is being defined as seeding the 
area.  Since SIP is really a signalling protocol, yes, that part is clear. 
But where is the time-sensitive technology component to the work in the area?

And if it is "multi-media" then what does that really mean?  Note that email 
and the web are multi-media... big time.
