Stephen,

Thanks for these excellent suggestions.  I'd like to add...

* Progress report on ad hoc steering committee for Internet2 real time
  communications

* Voice Disaster Recovery Project Status Report

* SIP.edu spin-off

  * Reasons
  * Proposed working group charter

* VoIP WG Futures

  - Become a SIG?
  - If remain working group, what are the goals / deliverables for
    next 6/18 months?

Most SIP.edu domains to date are wide open.  Anyone who can do a DNS
SRV lookup can route calls to them.  With SPIT (spam over internet
telephony) or an E.164 routing architecture (manual, ENUM, TRIP, ...),
this may change.

TRIP seems all but dead.  Do you know of vendors who are interested in
continuing TRIP development?
