[Sip] Eating our own Dog Food...could the IAB and IESG use SIP forconference calls

[Richard Shockey <richard@shockey.us>]

Like many of us I was moved my Harald's appeal for suggestions for helping 
to cut down costs in the IETF.

I certainly endorse the idea of considering Canada or Mexico as possible 
sites for future IETF meetings, but I suspect that the weekly teleconferece 
calls that the IAB and IESG have represent a significant line item for the 
Secretariat.

In case anyone has not heard, SIP is quite capable of handling this type of 
task and there are a variety of commercial as well as open source Client 
User Agents as well as commercial products and services that could help 
reduce this cost.

I'm sure the SIP working group could help the Secretariat identify products 
and services that could make this essential function more productive and 
operate at less cost.
