Sorry, I had missed this going by until someone pointed it out ... 

Basically, I would support this work in SIP WG, which does seem like the 
right place at least for requirements (can see where it goes next from 
there).

SIP WG seems like as good a place as any, at least for requirements.

Yes, the problem space exists.

Develop the *requirements* first, then ask this question.  A worthy 
question for this list would be whether the requirements should expand to 
use cases beyond Registrar interactions (e.g to Invite, Subscribe/Notify, 
or to streaming uses, etc).  Of course, the Security Area should be 
involved regardless, esp at solution time.

I believe it is close, modulo wondering about expansion beyond Register as 
above.  (Could dicker over details...)

Subject: [Sip] Certificate authentication in SIP

(As WG chair)

http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-dotson-sip-certificate-auth-03
.txt 

Describes a set of requirements for:

   This document defines requirements for adding certificate
   authentication to the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP).  This
   document is being presented with the intention of providing clear
   requirements to any potential solutions specifying certificate
   authentication within SIP networks.  Supporting certificate
   authentication in SIP would provide strong authentication and
   increase the types of possible deployment scenarios.

(Before we go any further, please forget all about the solutions
document - that comes later and we are not dealing with it now)

We need to decide whether there is support for a body of work in this
area, and therefore whether we should charter some requirements work in
the SIP WG.

(Because this is security related we have agreed that SIP does the
requirements drafting and not SIPPING)

So can I hear opinions of the WG on:

-                whether this represents a problem space that the working 
group
should draft requirements on?

-                whether the problem space exists but is something 
slightly
different, and if so what is that problem space?

-                whether there is a more general problem that the security 
area
should be addressing, rather than the SIP group addressing something
specific?

-                based on your answers to the first three questions, 
whether this
draft is essentially in the right direction to be adopted as the WG
draft assuming we create the charter item, or whether we need to seek
some other input draft?

-                and finally, whether (assuming we go ahead with this 
work) there
is any work in any other IETF WG that we should take account of?
