These drafts discuss
some general unified messaging (UM) client issues that I think would be
worth discussing at both the FAX and VPIM WGs.

After some discussion, I suggest we need to decide between
the following:

a) create a new BOF/WG to work on UM

b) recharter VPIM and/or FAX to work on this

c) close and combine VPIM and FAX into a new UM WG to work
on this and remaining VPIM/FAX topics

It is clear that the VPIM and Fax working groups have been pursuing some
topics that are more generally than the immediate scope of voice or fax
messaging. Consequently, some set of adjustments probably should be
made.

However their is a considerable danger in making such changes, namely
that the new/integrated effort might have a scope that is not
sufficiently clear and/or is too broad.

Therefore I would strongly suggest that discussion about a change NOT be
based a general discussion but, rather, on a specific proposal in the
form of a draft charter.

If we can agree on charter language that specifies a clear, concise and
useful scope of work, then making the change will be obviously
correct.

ps. I would offer draft text but do not feel that I know enough
about the work that is being proposed.
