Egon,

 

  As always, thanks for this information and for staying on top of the addressing issues.  I will talk to Mike and Ben to see what involvement we need to add from the VoIP-WG side.

Walt,

this concerns a community much larger than the testbed. Commercial
providers are interested in this too. And therefore a taskforce was
formed to discuss dialplan issues (taking into account all the ones you
mention) and work under the IMTC flag: UMMAP (Universal MultiMedia
Addressing Platform)

Dave Olson and Tyler Johnson (from the higher ed and research networks
communities) are part of that working group. Dave is chairing it.
Everyone can join.

Attached are the latest mails.
