The Open Mobile Alliance’s Presence and Availability Group (PAG) issued a

liaison statement to the IETF Centralized Conferencing (XCON) working group.

Background: OMA’s PAG is heavily involved in specification work supporting OMA’s Push-to-talk Over Cellular, or POC group. POC is essentially a conferencing application. XCON held an interim meeting last week, and I don’t know to what extent they were able to address the OMA-PAG LS. I have concerns that OMA may have become dependent on projected work in XCON that may no longer align with the XCON work plan, specifically in the area of using XCAP (draft-ietf-simple-xcap-05.txt
) as a “conference policy control protocol” or CPCP.
