I think all areas in the IETF are more-or-less defined as "core of the

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


It seems that on the Internet so called real time applications are
generally either

delay sensitive 

and / or 

Jitter intolerant. (Which  are, of course, different things.)

I guess I would go for "Low Latency Applications and Infrastucture " (LLAI) 
myself.

intended to cover.  I'm enthusiastic about the area;
not so crazy about its name.
