*Discussion*

The group welcomed Larry Schessel of Cisco. Larry works with a variety of 
Cisco
business units to spearhead introducing SIP into the Cisco enterprise 
solution.
Cisco wants to use SIP for things beyond what you can do with a PBX, so 
they're
interested in the PIC WG's demos and work on educational uses for PIC
technologies. Larry noted that he's here both to listen and to offer Cisco's
help where appropriate. He has links to most of Cisco's business units. [AI]
Larry will find out the current status of location technologies in Cisco's 
WiFi
business unit. Larry also offered to bring someone onto PIC calls from that 
unit
if needed.

[AI] Jeremy will send out a list of PIC-related meetings at the Spring 
Internet2
Member Meeting. [Done March 5.] All are exhorted to come to as many as you 
can.
