Presence and IntComm WG

[Candace Holman <>]

I would like to remove this action item from my list:  [ACTION] (pre-12/8) Candace will look into Tyler Johnson's H.350-enabled version of the NIST client.  

I believe the NIST client, sip-communicator [1], will be useful because it is 
open-source java, and it can support both SIMPLE and Jabber using a java 
ProtocolService Implementation, and runs on Win/Linux/Mac/BSD.  Other items 
in the queue: TURN, iLBC, etc!  But I haven't tried it yet, and there are 
some youthful registration bugs documented, like a problem with SRV and 
outbound proxy use [3] .  In conclusion, I can't see any reference to 
H.350-enabled versions on the sip-communicator development roadmap [2].

Here are some more research results:

There is some information on H.350 on the Internet2 website [4].  H.350 
is a directory services architecture for multimedia conferencing for 
H.323, SIP, XMPP, and other protocols, and is based on an idea developed 
by the Video Middleware working group.  Some of the links on this site 
are broken, but interestingly there exists a H.350.7 standard, the 
Proposed Directory Services Architecture for XMPP
