Ballot question: "Do we approve of this charter?"
Repeating my comment from internal review: I still feel like I'm missing something in the first paragraph: The deployment of a Session Initiation Protocol (SIP)-based infrastructure in enterprise and service provider communication networks has been gradually increasing over the last few years. Consequently, direct IP peering between enterprise and service provider networks is replacing traditional methods of interconnection between these networks, such as analog lines and time-division multiplexing (TDM)-based digital circuits. in that it sounds like "communication networks" is being used as a term of art, but I don't have enough context to know what it should mean. Just reading the words in their normal English meanings, this sounds like it would apply to any sort of communication, including both human-focused and computer-focused communication, and all IP-based networking. Is this supposed to be focusing on voice (or maybe voice+video) communication? (There also could maybe be a stronger link between SIP usage and IP peering, in that SIP runs over IP and so IP peering allows for direct SIP trunking(?).)
