[SIPForum-techwg] Restarting IP-Phone Task Group - Conference Call Planned

[Jay Batson]

I agree with Peter; this is "a good thing."

 From this point on, I'm sure we'll want to make sure we're using the  
mailing list for the work.

For coverage sake, Larry included a bunch of addresses in this "re- 
open" email that may not have been subscribed to the techwg mailing  
list.

But if you want to participate, please confirm that you are  
subscribed to that list.  You can do so by checking at the list admin  
page and, e.g. using the options at the bottom of that page to get/ 
change your password, check your subscription options, etc., as a way  
to confirm your subscription (if you need to.)  The list page is here:

Cheers
