IME and IETF Standard Setting

[DanMillerOpus]

The Inter-company Media Engine is one of the most interesting new elements introduced during the recent Collaboration Launch Event. The way that secure UCMs "auto-discover" each other and authenticate one or more phones on another company's premises has great potential to expand the reach of the IP-telephony cloud. The fact taht Cisco is submitting some or all of the specification for the Interbusiness Media Engine (IME) to the IETF to become a standard and, thus, encourage third-party enhancements and development.

Does anyone here know the name of the draft standard at IETF or what aspects are being emphasized in the standard?
