CPCP Issue 8: Re-inviting/re-referring participants that dropped out or did not answer
Participants can drop out of a conference for many reasons including: client crash, out of coverage, had to leave for a while.
Proposal 1: Modify the conference policy by placing the same user again on the dial-out list. I.e. replacing the exiting entry for that user with exactly the same information. This triggers a notification that a change was made.
This might not work will all transport protocols
Proposal 2: Introduce an attribute into every target-uri in the dial-out list, say 're-invite', that has an integer value. When a user is needed to be dialled again, the 're-invite' value is increased by 1. The focus realises that 're-invite' value has increased and can then re-invite the user to join the conference.
eg: The DL looks like the following and Alice has dropped out.

sip:alice@operator.com

Her entry in the DL is replaced by increasing recur to value 2.

sip:alice@operator.com

The focus is triggered, realises the change an re-invites Alice.
