Since our presentation during the SIP WG meeting at the Pittsburgh IETF on 
"SIP for Appliances" there has been a lot of discussion on this topic on 
this mailing list. Per Brian Rosen's suggestion (see e-mail below), we have 
created a mailing list expressly for the discussion of this topic. The list 
is [email-masked] and you can subscribe by sending an 
e-mail to [email-masked] with the word 
"subscribe" in the *Subject* line of the e-mail.

We have also created an accompanying web page at 
http://www.research.telcordia.com/iapp/

The (initial) plan for the new appliances mailing list is to continue the 
discussion begun on this mailing list regarding the use of SIP for 
networked appliances. We plan to request a BoF at the San Diego IETF and 
submit several more Internet Drafts on this subject.

We welcome everyone to participate and especially hope that everyone 
involved with the SIP for Appliances threads on this mailing list join the 
new list.

Thanks,
-Stan

>The discussion on SIP for appliances has been fascinating,
>and many good points have been raised.  Use of SIP to CONTROL

>group charter:
>"SIP is a text-based protocol, similar to HTTP and SMTP, for
>initiating interactive communication sessions between users.
>Such sessions include voice, video, chat, interactive games,

>We encourage the authors of the draft to create a mailing list

>lively as it has been, you may consider asking for a BOF at the

>Since we have a ton of work to accomplish that falls within the

>We do not wish to curtail sip discussions that focus on devices
>that facilitate multimedia communications between users
>(such as dedicated IP phones, kitchen-counter mail/web/sip boxes,
>set-top-boxes, and so on). These are within scope, and are encouraged.
