*Discussion*

Steve reported that he's been doing some PALS-DEV testing with Candace and
Ben T. The testing is currently paused while Vaclav makes some fixes.

The group discussed plans for the Spring Member Meeting. [ACTION] Steve will
send out some Spring Member Meeting suggestions from Deke. Rodger suggested 
that
Penn present its VoIP work as it relates to presence; Steve thought this would
work well as a half-hour presentation on a panel with other VoIP implementers.
The panel could be part of the PIC WG meeting, or a separate track session.
[ACTION] Rodger will follow up with potential VoIP panelists. Other possible
topics for the SMM include whitelists and "who can call me" issues more
generally, mobility, and 911.
