[SIPForum-techwg] SIPconnect 1.1 timeline - strawman ..

[Uzelac, Adam]

We both can't be right. It's no fun that way!!  ;)  Seriously, I think
that we need further definition of the interface being defined here.  In
my eyes, it's more the SIP-based IP-PBX to the SIP-based SP for PSTN
access.  The endpoints on the enterprise's premise will register to the
IP-PBX.  The registration across the SIP Interface being defined in the
1.0 is not directly tied to PSTN access.  

I have no problem with changing the scope of the document.  I am just
looking for consistency, or looking to prevent inconsistencies.

PS - would it be worth a live pow-wow on this subject at the next IETF
(Dublin)?  It seems like a common set of characters participating in
both groups.  Just throwing that out there.  I bet that Richard would
buy a round or two!  ;)
