I'd like to discuss the extension of the current conference procedures
with the following functionality.

3GPP conference specifications are basing generally on the Conferencing
Framework (RFC 4353) and for one possibility of inviting users to the
confrence on draft-ietf-sip-uri-list-conferencing.  

Using the conferencing framework, the following situation can occur when
a user is invited to an ad-hoc conference:
User A is in a dialog with user B, and decides to start a conference,
for example using an INVITE request to the focus which includes a URI
list with the URIs of the users which shall be added to the conference,
incl. B. So when the INVITE request from the focus arrives at B, he is
still in the original dialog with A, and so it depends on B if he
accepts the 2nd INVITE and the conference can be established.

At the last 3GPP CT1 meeting the idea of transporting dialog identifiers
together with the URIs was introduced to solve this problem. Basing on
the idea that the procedures at the conference server are extended in
that way, that the conference server is aware of already established
dialogs, the focus then has the possibility to send re-INVITES in the
indicated dialogs and connect the media from the invited users to the
conference bridge.
In the URI list the dialogs can be indicated using the "?" mechanism
according to subclause 19.1.1 of RFC 3261.

Following example shows the proposed mechanism:

INVITE Conference
To: Conference
From: A
Require: recipient-list-invite 

Content-Type: application/resource-lists+xml 
Content-Disposition: recipient-list
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
 <resource-lists xmlns="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:resource-lists" 
    xmlns:cp="urn:ietf:params:xml:ns:copyControl">
  <list> 
   <entry uri="B?Call-ID=1&From=A%3Btag%3Da&To=B%3Btag%3Db"
cp:copyControl="to"/>
   <entry uri="C?Call-ID=2&From=A%3Btag%3Da&To=C%3btag%3Dc"
cp:copyControl="to"/> 
  </list> 
 </resource-lists> 

Greetings,
Denis Alexeitsev
