Issues – Terminology What do we call a Conference Specific Instance? “State” can be confusing because each of the conference objects has its own “state” (not a conference instance only…) Proposal: Occurrence. Conclusion: Conference Object. Mixing pattern - type defined to abstract the details of the media mixer. “Pattern” concept can be used not for mixing only, but also for abstracting other advanced features, such as “user input pattern”, etc. Conclusion: Subsumed by “Conference Template” Focus - do we need a new (enhanced) definition for XCON? Conclusion: need a more general definition for XCON. Proposal: Focus: The focus is a call signaling endpoint that is addressed by a unique conference identifier. The focus maintains a call signaling relationship with each participant in the conference. The focus ensures, in some way, that each participant receives the media that make up the conference. The focus also implements conference policies. The focus is a logical role. |
