[Linyi] I think this problem might exist in URI List Conferencing. For example, 
too many recipients, URI format is invalid, etc. Do we need to consider these 
error conditions?

[Linyi] I agree fast is important. Beyond fast experience users also care about 
rules of a conference. And in some scenarios default rules obviously can not 
fulfill their expectation. For example, Initiator wants to provide some simple 
rules such as maximum attendee number, whether allow inviting new person, etc. 
I have to admit conf control protocol is too heavy to do that for ad hoc 
conference.
