The IESG contact persons are Allison Mankin and Jon Peterson. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-mmusic-sdp-bfcp-03.txt Technical Summary This document specifies how to describe Basic Floor Control Protocol (BFCP) streams in SDP session descriptions. User agents using the offer/answer model to establish BFCP streams use this format in their offers and their answers. BFCP is defined by an accompanying specification from the XCON working group. This document also describes key management and security principles for BFCP establishment, using existing protocol capabilities available through SDP. Working Group Summary There was strong working group consensus behind this draft. Protocol Quality The protocol has been reviewed by the MMUSIC working group. It defines a number of new SDP parameters within the existing framework. The new parameters are not controversial. Allison Mankin has acted as the Area Director for the document in order to coordinate this document with the XCON BFCP document. Colin Perkins is the WG Chair shepherd for this document. The Editor, Gonzalo Camarillo, took the initiative in shepherding the Discuss comments. Note to RFC Editor Replace Reference 3 (RFC 2234) with a reference to RFC 4234.
