It's a great appointment and the IETF community should rightfully be
thrilled and excited.
I'm a cross posting a note I made to the RAI DISPATCH List.
There are interesting things going on with core Layer 7 services and itsnot
US centric. Its is the beginning of the transition of the entire real time
communications service to IP networks.
********
And yours truly was the opening act at the Workshop.
Henning is absolutely right here.
If there was ever a time for the RAI community to reach out the policy folks
its now.
BTW if you really want to understand what is going on here you can add this
to your holiday reading list.

War and Peace without the plot. If it seems overwhelming, it is but
regulators have to deal with the law as it is, not as they would prefer it
to be.
Though some of these issues are US specific I would suspect that other
national jurisdictions will start to take up these issues in the upcoming
months and years.
There are very relevant technical issues our community might have to deal
with or certainly clarify. The above order specifically calls out non
modification of the SIP headers by forwarding elements as it might relate to
billing data such as Calling Party Number or SS7 Charge number.

VoIP and related issues will play a major role in the FCC's work in the next
year or two. For example, the FCC Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) will be
looking at the "PSTN transition"; a video of a recent workshop can be found
at

The Commission needs input from technically-oriented folks. Thus, don't
hesitate to contact me if you or your organization wants to stop by at the
Commission, or you have information you want to share. (FCC staff meets with
both individuals and groups regularly, both within the rule making process
and outside. No campaign donation or JD degree required.)
For what it's worth, I've been tasked with outreach to standardization
organizations as one of my responsibilities.
Henning
