Subject: [Sipping] Other work in same scope as draft-ietf-sipping-config-framework-0 2

There seems to be work going on in 3GPP that has a similar scope to draft-ietf-sipping-config-framework-02 called Generic User Profile (GUP).

This raises two questions:

-	is there work here that should be aligned with each other. Both propose XML document structures for configuration data.
-	the 3GPP work is a generic solution to configuration data, in parallel in 3GPP there may exist solutions specific to particular services or protocols for some of the data. Is draft-ietf-sipping-config-framework-02 a generic solution to configuration, or does it deal only with configuration of the SIP aspects of a network/terminal infrastructure.

The following is the documentation list for the 3GPP work, along with scope statements:

22.240: Service requirements for 3GPP Generic User Profile (GUP); Stage 1
http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/html-info/22240.htm

The present document defines the stage one description to the 3GPP Generic User Profile (GUP). It specifies requirements to the 3GPP Generic User Profile, seen primarily from the user, home environment, serving network and value added service provider's points of view. 
The present document includes information applicable to the home environment, device- and network manufacturers and value added service providers which are sufficient to provide complete support of services in 3GPP networks.
While the 3GPP Generic User Profile may contain components that are out of scope of 3GPP (e.g. for services offered by third parties) the requirements in the present document pertain only to those components that lie within the 3GPP system. 

23.240: 3GPP Generic User Profile (GUP) requirements; Architecture (Stage 2)
http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/html-info/23240.htm

The present document defines the stage 2 architecture description to the 3GPP Generic User Profile (GUP), which includes the elements necessary to realise the stage 1 requirements in 3GPP TS 22.240 [1].
The present document includes the GUP reference architecture with descriptions of functional entities, and their interfaces and procedures, as well as the high-level information model for the GUP data.

23.241: 3GPP Generic User Profile (GUP); Stage 2; Data description method
http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/html-info/23241.htm

The present document is the Stage Two description for the Data Description Method (DDM) and the Datatype Definition Method (DtDM) of the 3GPP Generic User Profile.
The present document specifies the method for describing the logical structure of the data description, Generic User Profile, Profile Components, methods for describing Datatypes and other constructs for use in 3GPP. The GUP data description method is designed to coexist with other data description technologies.
The document includes:
·	DDM and DtDM features and definition;
·	Process and procedures for administration of GUP/DDM and 3GPP TS 24.241 [12].

24.241: 3GPP Generic User Profile (GUP) Common objects; Stage 3
http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/html-info/24241.htm

This specification serves as a vessel for storing and listing new Profiles, Profile Component Groups, Profile Components, Datatypes, and other constructs for use in 3GPP applications within various specifications, thereby serving as a means to manage the process of adding new entities of these types
The present document defines the stage three description to the 3GPP Generic User Profile (GUP) Common Objects. This document serves as a vessel to manage the process for addition of new Datatypes, Profile Group Components, Common Profile Components, and other constructs for use in 3GPP applications within various specifications.
3GPP GUP architecture, storage, distribution, ownership, etc are included in [11] and [12].

29.240: Generic User Profile (GUP); Stage 3; Network
http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/Specs/html-info/29240.htm

The present document defines the stage 3 network protocol description to the 3GPP Generic User Profile (GUP), which includes the elements necessary to realise the stage 2 requirements in 3GPP TS 23.240 [1].
