[As WG cochair]

The chairs and the associated AD (Gonzalo) discussed this and came to the conclusion that creation of an identifier that is preserved across conferences is out of scope according to the INSIPID working group charter.

The reasoning for this is that the charter is bound to problem space for which a common To/From header field is used.

We will therefore not include a conferencing use case, or attempt to derive requirements from one.

By the same argument, transfers are also out of scope at first sight, but the To and From headers are preserved in the Refer so it can be argued from that perspective that it is in scope. 

So we will continue to include the transfer use case.

Obviously discussion of this is allowed, but please remember that any such discussion is likely to a rechartering discussion (with consequent delay) rather than a discussion on the contents of the requirements document.

Regards

Keith
