*Discussion*

The group continued its discussion of how to incorporate XMPP into its work.
Ben T. observed that XMPP seems to have "a much better interop story than 
we've
got right now with SIMPLE." Initial versions of the XMPP multimedia standards,
called Jingle, have been published; see
http://www.jabber.org/press/2005-12-15.shtml. Ben T. is particularly 
interested
in hearing from people who understand SIP, XMPP, and how SIP and XMPP can work
together over the long term; he is pursuing contacts at Google. Peter St. 
Andre,
Erik Lagerway, and Paul Hill are also possibilities here.

Candace noted that the UNAM group wants to get back into PIC-SER testing. 
There
are currently some versioning issues with SER; Candace, Steve, and Ben T. are
working with Vaclav on this.
