Hello Arturo,

People have some time to think about it. As the editor of the H.248.x 
Implementors' Guide i'll submit a contribution to the July Q.3/16 
meeting regarding it.

Regards, Christian

It either should be binary ID 0x0002 or the package extension should be removed in order to address the issue. Ericsson was the original editor of this work item. This Recommendation is also used by Tispan/3GPP so we would need to consider this when deciding on a path to take.
