I think all areas in the IETF are more-or-less defined as "core of the
area" + "what is closely linked to the core" + "what fits less badly there
than elsewhere" - ECRIT would come under "closely linked", since its
subject area is use of the SIP-type services; GEOPRIV might be more
characteristic of "fits less badly here than elsewhere" - it is used by
many of the services like ECRIT, but is also used (or should be) by WGs in
other areas.

I think there may be a problem here in that "real time" may
suggest to a number of people a level of rigor in timing that's
really not applicable to much of the work the new area is
intended to cover.  I'm enthusiastic about the area;
not so crazy about its name.
