I'm with Richard on this one. I have to think that among the many
companies that make up the IETF there exists a couple with
conferencing bridges that can support SIP endpoints! ;-) Can we move
some of this conversation in the bill below onto the Internet using
systems where our costs essentially go to $0? (Obviously we still
need to communicate to non-wired folks across the PSTN, such as event
location facilities, etc.)
Or is the issue really that, as Jonathan Christensen of Skype states,
the original vision of SIP for rich communications remains
"unrealistic"[1]? That as a practical matter we *can't* use SIP
endpoints due to NAT traversal, security issues, federation/trust
issues, etc?
My 2 cents,
Dan
P.S. How many folks out there have phones (hard or soft) from which
they can place calls to other random SIP endpoints? (I do, but also
realize I'm in a minority.)

unbelievable. I don't think I'm going to listen to any more
arguments about
IPv6 experiments during Plenary's any more.
One thing the IAOC is looking at at this instant is our phone bill.
The IETF's phone budget for 2008 is
IESG: $58,800
IAB: $22,500
Nomcom: $30,000
IASA/IAOC: $17,235
---------
$128,535
