So far, references have been made to time-sensitive and to

technology component to the work in the area?
Dave,
I'm not entirely clear here: Do you have a problem with Ted's
reformulation of this potential new area as the Signalling
Applications and Infrastructure Area? That is, does his description
concretely define the new area well enough?
(If SAI is reasonable, and I think it is, let's use that
reformulation and be done with it.)
Hi. I'm just catching up but I think "signaling" is not an essential
discriminator of what we're talking about, and thus this name is in
fact unreasonable. Some relationships are established or tailored
through signaling that have nothing to do with interactiveness or
delay tolerance (or SIP). Some are established through "management".
"Delay-sensitive interpersonal communications" seems to be an
excellent description of the scope. "Instant" messaging should be
included. TDM should not, and one-way multimedia should only be
ancillary, even if SIP-based.
I'm not sure what the name should be but please, putting "signaling"
in the name is worse than "real-time".
