(As WG chair)

We now have a new version of outbound. There hasn't exactly been a
flurry of comments since it was posted - does that mean it is now ready
for WGLC.

It has agenda time at the next IETF meeting, with a view to starting
WGLC not long after that meeting. If you believe there are issues with
the current version of this document, then you need to post them to the
list, so that they can be either resolved there, or addressed in the
meeting.

I am posting the extract of the minutes of the last meeting so that you
can remind yourself of the issues addressed in this new version. 

Remember you can also gain access to diff versions here:

Topic: Outbound
Led by Cullen Jennings
Slides presented and included in proceedings


Issue:  Keepalive for TCP, CRLF vs. Inline STUN
Extended discussion of this issue occurred, with each of several
factions represented. 

It was noted that the current document dropped out discussion of using
tags in Path header to resolve configuration questions when Path is
used. This is to be repaired in the next revision of the document.

Following discussion the chairs polled on the question of whether the
room felt that the issue needed to be resolved "today" and whether they
would be willing to accept either approach based on a rough consensus.
There was a clear consensus to do so.

The chairs then polled the room on option 1 (STUN) vs option 2 (CRLF).
An approximate 2/3 majority favored CRLF.  The ADs decalred "rough
consensus" in favor of CRLF. This consensus is to be re-reviewed on the
mailing list.

Issue: When to do Keepalives?
Proposed that there is no longer a need for a keep-tcp parameter, and
that the keepalive-time parameter will suffice. There was no objection
noted to this proposal.

Issue: Simplifying Instance-ID Types
Proposed that SIPS-dependent option be dropped. No objections noted to
proprosal.

Issue: OPTIONS Probing for STUN support
Extended discussion occurred.

Proposed that discussion of using OPTIONS be deleted. No objections were
noted (just slight whimpering from one of the chairs).

Issue: Procedures for failures within 120s of REGISTER

Proposed that discussion be deleted. A consensus in favor of the
proposal was recorded.

Noted that Outbound will be tested at the next SIPIT, and that WGLC for
Outbound is imminent, so we should get any issues raised on the list
ASAP.
