Welcome to the STRAW WG!

The WG charter and associated milestones can be found here: http://tools.ietf.org/wg/straw/charters

As you may have seen, we have been assigned agenda time in Vancouver in order to kick-start the work. So we encourage people to take a look and see for which deliverables they are interested to contribute and, even better, start putting some draft text together.

Dec 2012 - A taxonomy document defining role-types of B2BUAs, as a reference for other deliverables submitted to the IESG as Informational
Apr 2013 - A document defining the requirements for B2BUAs with respect to loop detection/prevention submitted to the IESG as PS
Aug 2013 - A document defining the requirements for B2BUAs to support end-to-end and hop-by-hop media-loopback test calls submitted to the IESG as PS
Dec 2013 - A document defining the requirements for B2BUAs to support DTLS-SRTP (RFC 5764) end-to-end submitted to the IESG as PS
Dec 2013 - A document defining the requirements for B2BUAs to support STUN message transactions end-to-end submitted to the IESG as PS
Dec 2013 - A document defining the requirements for B2BUAs to support RTCP end-to-end submitted to the IESG as PS

If you want to present ideas on how to address certain problems, feel free to contact the chairs so that we take it into account when drafting the agenda for the upcoming session.

The following existing drafts are related to this group:
- A Taxonomy of Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Back-to-Back User Agents: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-kaplan-dispatch-b2bua-taxonomy-00

Best regards and happy strawing!
