Presence and IntComm WG

["Callahan, Tim" <>]

Please join us for a special call this Thursday, when our guest will be Scott 
Brim from Cisco.  We'll have an open discussion as Scott shares some of his 
work/thoughts/genius.

Some of Scott's topics will include:
-Technology recommendations 
  Including the critical position of the "connection manager" in client 
devices
-SCTP as a good transport protocol (with or without mobility)
-Technology tradeoffs in putting together a mobility service  
  For example, quick reconnect versus session persistence.
-The role that Internet2 members play in providing mobility, if any

Scott had a great presentation in the Spring Member Meeting (link below). 
There are parallels between some of his work and some of our previous 
discussions, and there's much common ground between Mobility and 
Presence/Integrated Communications.  This looks like a rich area for 
innovation - something to get excited about!

There is a high potential for future collaboration between our group and 
Scott + others in I2 interested in mobility.  We'll probably include a short 
discussion about future activity and next steps; everyone is encouraged to 
join in. 

If you'd like more info (questions, comments, more discussion topics, etc.) 
prior to the meeting, please let me know.
-Tim
