Re: [midcom] Re: Status of TURN

If people have specific technical issues about the security of TURN that are
not documented in the current draft - it would be really nice to know about
them. I always hear there are some but I never seem to hear what exactly
they are. I do understand Melinda's general concerns on if media relays
should be done at all no matter how they are done.

Thanks Cullen
