RE: [Sipping] Multimedia message adaptationInternet-Drafts2002-11-14 07:47:42Eric, Thanks We have to be careful here, since some of the work would also fit or is being done in W3C and other bodies. abbie -----Original Message----- From: Eric Burger [mailto:eburger(_at_)snowshore(_dot_)com] Sent: Thursday, November 14, 2002 9:18 AM To: Jose(_dot_)Costa-Requena(_at_)nokia(_dot_)com Cc: bindignavile(_dot_)srinivas(_at_)nokia(_dot_)com; Stephane(_dot_)Coulombe(_at_)nokia(_dot_)com; jon(_dot_)peterson(_at_)neustar(_dot_)biz; Markus(_dot_)Isomaki(_at_)nokia(_dot_)com; dean(_dot_)willis(_at_)softarmor(_dot_)com; drage(_at_)lucent(_dot_)com; Gonzalo(_dot_)Camarillo(_at_)lmf(_dot_)ericsson(_dot_)se; sipping(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org; Pekka(_dot_)Pessi(_at_)nokia(_dot_)com; simple(_at_)mailman(_dot_)dynamicsoft(_dot_)com; ietf-openproxy(_at_)imc(_dot_)org; UM list; um(_at_)snowshore(_dot_)com Subject: RE: [Sipping] Multimedia message adaptationInternet-Drafts I understand the sentiment. Neither opes nor lemonade are perfect fits for the current proposals. However, I would offer that the proper home for media adaptation is either opes or lemonade. My rationale is simple. Sipping is a transport area work group. The experts in the group are transport experts. The AD's are transport AD's. Media transformation is an application. Opes and lemonade are application work groups. The experts in the groups are application experts. The AD's are application AD's. I agree that there may be refinement or conventions that will be needed in SIP to support real-time media transformation. The correct place for that to happen is sipping. However, the right people with expertise in media transformation are in the opes and lemonade groups. From a charter point of view, media transformation (IMHO) is way out of scope for sipping. We've heard from Abbie that it is sort of out of scope for opes, as opes is focusing on HTTP. On the other hand, the mechanism being proposed is rather close to the lemonade work. I think this work fits into lemonade charter items 1 (retrieval protocols) and 5 (translation services). We can refine the language to explicitly contain the real-time adaptation work items, if that would make everyone happy. -- - Eric SIPPING is for SIP. OPES and LEMONADE are specifically for media transformation. Said differently, we have transport experts in SIPPING and application experts in OPES and LEMONADE. -----Original Message----- From: Rohan Mahy [mailto:rohan(_at_)cisco(_dot_)com] Sent: Wed 11/13/2002 9:00 PM To: Jose(_dot_)Costa-Requena(_at_)nokia(_dot_)com Cc: bindignavile(_dot_)srinivas(_at_)nokia(_dot_)com; Eric Burger; Stephane(_dot_)Coulombe(_at_)nokia(_dot_)com; jon(_dot_)peterson(_at_)neustar(_dot_)biz; Markus(_dot_)Isomaki(_at_)nokia(_dot_)com; dean(_dot_)willis(_at_)softarmor(_dot_)com; drage(_at_)lucent(_dot_)com; Gonzalo(_dot_)Camarillo(_at_)lmf(_dot_)ericsson(_dot_)se; sipping(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org; Pekka(_dot_)Pessi(_at_)nokia(_dot_)com; simple(_at_)mailman(_dot_)dynamicsoft(_dot_)com; ietf-openproxy(_at_)imc(_dot_)org; UM list Subject: Re: [Sipping] RE: [Simple] Multimedia message adaptationInternet-Drafts hello, please cease an desist cross posting when you reply. sipping seems like the default wg, so please send your comments only to sipping(_at_)ietf(_dot_)org(_dot_) thanks, -rohan On Wednesday, November 13, 2002, at 07:35 AM, Jose(_dot_)Costa-Requena(_at_)nokia(_dot_)com wrote: > Hi, > > According to LEMONADE requirements, it is considering mainly messaging > systems and I agree that this proposal could fit into that context at > some extent.
