I agree with Scott...the two groups seem more complementary than overlapping.
As someone pointed out, P2PSIP could utilize whatever comes out of EMMERG.

I don't think there's that much overlap in goal between P2P SIP and EMERG,
although they'll touch some of the same territory.  IMHO the essence of P2P
SIP is to free the peer discovery process from the Borg (plus a couple of
other things like support for anonymity and NAT traversal).  All of the P2PRG
work would support it directly.  OTOH it seems that the implicit issue in
EMERG is to *control* the discovery process, and to make it work well when a
lot of control exists, assuming strong A&A.
