Yes, this is exactly the goal.
draft-levin-sipping-conferencing-requirements-01.txt
is the main requirements draft for conferencing.
All requirements drafts have more or less been merged to it.
 
Some of the drafts you mentioned are old
drafts, proposing different solutions
to the same problems. Therefore it makes
sense to agree on the requirements first.

Some of the drafts (e.g. video-01) discuss
media-specific issues so they are do not belong
to conferencing work item. 

The problem is that conferencing is vague concept,
including simple terminal-based ad-hoc conferences
using currently available SIP mechanisms, and
advanced application server hosted conferences
with full-blown management support and additional
features (chair control, conference creation, 
floor control etc). Anyway, once the requirements
have been frozen, the picture should be clearer.
