Dear fellow SIP bakers:

First, I'd like to thank Ericsson for hosting a successful bake-off in
Dallas.

3Com has kindly agreed to host the fourth SIP Bakeoff in Chicago.  We
still need to settle on a date.  Following the pattern established, a
four-month interval seems appropriate, so that the month of April
suggests itself.  IETF in Adelaide takes place March 26 through 31, VON
is March 27 to 30, IEEE Infocom March 26 through 30.  Easter is April 23
and Passover April 20 to the 27th.

One possibility is April 10 through 12 or the following week, April 17
through 20.

10-12: CMU
       Hans Nilsson <hans@erix.ericsson.se>; wants 3.5-4 days
       Wcom
       NetSpeak
       Pingtel (also early part of March)
17-20: CMU
       Indigo Software
       NetSpeak
       Mediatrix (or later)
       Vovida

Please let me know by the end of this week which of these dates you
prefer.  Alternatively, if you would prefer a longer interval (or are
desperate for something before then), drop me a note.

Thanks.

Henning
