[As co-chair]

Hi,

Our first scheduled delivery in the charter is a taxonomy document defining role-types of B2BUAs.

We believe that having a common understanding and agreement of the different B2BUA roles is essential for our other deliverables. We therefor suggest that our main focus at this point should be to agree on the different roles (of course we don't want to prevent people from also discussing topics related to other deliverables :).

Currently, the only proposal on the table is Hadriels's B2BUA taxonomy document: http://www.ietf.org/id/draft-kaplan-straw-b2bua-taxonomy-00.txt

Next week we intend to ask the working group for adoption of the draft.

Note that adopting the draft does not mean we have agreed on the currently defined roles. It means that we will use the document as a base for our deliverable.

However, if someone else is planning to submit a draft on the same topic, we ask that person to inform the working group when it is expected to be available.

We also intend to organize a phone meeting, where we will discuss the B2BUA roles. A doodle poll for the dates will be posted shortly.

Regards,

Christer
