[SIPForum-discussion] SIP Forum 2007 activities; reply invited

Dear Jay,

I notice that you don't mention that you appointed yourself as Managing Director - and that you report to yourself! 

How limp the organization has become since you bullied your way into the Chairman's position. You've pretty much single-handedly run the Forum and it's activities into the ground. 

The Working Groups have come to a standstill, the newsletter has been abandoned, and membership has fallen by more than one third!

The fact the the Forum has regressed for the first time since its inception under your leadership is surely evidence enough of your incompetence.

Your latest initiative "What's in store for 2007 in the SIP Forum - you get to choose (sic)" says it all.

Shame on you!

Ed

  Dear SIP Forum Members -- 


  Your newly-elected Board of the SIP Forum met recently to discuss the state of the SIP industry, and what things the SIP Forum and its members can do in order "... to advance the adoption of products and services based on SIP," which is the mission of the Forum.


  We think there are (at least!) four areas where more industry work needs done:


  1) Help make Network Address Translation (NAT) / firewall problems go away;
  2) Help evangelize the how, when, and why of SIP over TLS;
  3) Continue (restart) the advancement of the SIP Phone Profiles Technical Recommendation;
  4) Continue the advancement of the SIPconnect Technical Recommendation.


  The Board wants the SIP Forum to be a catalyst to address these problems.  And since the work of the Forum is done by its volunteer members, you can directly participate in getting this done.


  Come read more about these issues, and what we want to do about them, at our website.  Then help us advance SIP by solving helping us work on these problems on one of our email lists.


  We hope you'll join the rest of your industry peers in making SIP the best protocol possible for real time multimedia communications.


  Cheers
  -jb
