Draft: Reviewer: Review Date: Review Deadline: Status: Expert Review Review Summary: Expert Evaluation (per RFC 3427): --------------------------------- 1. A designated expert (as defined in RFC 2434 [4]) MUST review the proposal for applicability to SIP and conformance to these guidelines. The Expert Reviewer will send email to the Transport Area Directors on this determination. The expert reviewer can cite one or more of the guidelines that haven't been followed in his/her opinion. 2. The proposed extension MUST NOT define SIP option tags, response codes, or methods. 3. The function of the proposed header MUST NOT overlap with current or planned chartered extensions. 4. The proposed header MUST be of a purely informational nature, and MUST NOT significantly change the behavior of SIP entities which support it. Headers which merely provide additional information pertinent to a request or a response are acceptable. If the headers redefine or contradict normative behavior defined in standards track SIP specifications, that is what is meant by significantly different behavior. 5. The proposed header MUST NOT undermine SIP security in any sense. The Internet Draft proposing the new header MUST address security issues in detail as if it were a Standards Track document. Note that, if the intended application scenario makes certain assumptions regarding security, the security considerations only need to meet the intended application scenario rather than the general Internet case. In any case, security issues need to be discussed for arbitrary usage scenarios (including the general Internet case). 6. The proposed header MUST be clearly documented in an (Individual or Working Group) Informational RFC, and registered with IANA. 7. An applicability statement in the Informational RFC MUST clearly document the useful scope of the proposal, and explain its limitations and why it is not suitable for the general use of SIP in the Internet.
