I have been selected as the General Area Review Team (Gen-ART) reviewer for this draft (for background on Gen-ART, please see http://www.alvestrand.no/ietf/gen/art/gen-art-FAQ.html). Please resolve these comments along with any other Last Call comments you may receive. Document: draft-ietf-sipping-cc-transfer-10.txt Reviewer: Brian Carpenter Review Date: 2008-10-06 IETF LC End Date: 2008-10-10 IESG Telechat date: (if known) Summary: Almost ready Comments: This looks almost ready but I have some questions for clarification. I have not reviewed the call flows and examples in detail. > 4. Requirements I'm not sure why the RFC2119 upper case keywords are used in this section; it isn't specifying either a protocol or operational practices. > 5. Using REFER to achieve Call Transfer > > A REFER [RFC3515] can be issued by the Transferor to cause the > Transferee to issue an INVITE to the Transfer-Target. Conversely, I found it hard in sections 5 through 11 to figure out what was normative and what was illustrative. Does that "can be" imply that there may be another method? I found no MUSTs, two SHOULDs, one NOT RECOMMENDED, and one MAY. There are some lower case "shoulds" - are they normative? Are the call flows normative? If so, I think this should be stated explicitly in section 5. [I-D.ietf-sip-gruu] seems to me to be a normative reference. It's the only mechanism offered to solve the problem of knowing whether a "Contact URI is routable outside a dialog" and it's used in 6.1 and 7.3 and listed as "supported" throughout the examples. ญญญญ____________________________________________________________ Minor questions: > 4.

I have a small concern about privacy issues there. For example, could the Transfer-Target find itself in a video session after a transfer, both unexpectedly and unintentionally from the user's point of view? ญญญญ____________________________________________________________ Typo at the end of section 11.1: (This might easily be missed in editing.) > If the > gateway supports more than one truck group, s/truck/trunk/
