RE: [XCON] CPCP Requirement: de-activating a conference

["Drage, Keith (Keith)" <drage@lucent.com>]

You seem to be ending defining an inactivated conference due to a lack of flexbility over start and stop times. What is to stop you having multiple start and stop times that are completely independent of regular scheduling?

If the conference them has a stop specified sometime in the middle, and a subsequent restart, how is that different from an inactivated conference?
