Ballot Text

Technical Summary
  
  This document builds on the model defined in RFC 2778 clarifying
  the underlying presence data model used by Session Initiation 
  Protocol (SIP) for Instant Messaging Leveraging Presence 
  Extensions (SIMPLE) presence agents. In particular, the document
  clarifies what a tuple models and provides guidance on mapping
  real-world communications systems into a presence document.

Working Group Summary

  This document has been through many extensive working group
  discussions. It reflects well forged compromise, and a strong 
  working group consensus.

Protocol Quality

  Hisham Khartabil was the PROTO shepherd for this document.
  Ted Hardie reviewed the document for the IESG. Interoperable exchange 
  of presence documents based on this model has been seen at several of the 
  SIP Interoperability Test Events (SIPITs).
