The result was KEEP. The Session Initiation Protocol is probably really the place for this, however. It does appear that the word "forum" in the article has confused at least one of the deleters (DesertSky). -Splash - tk 23:50, 20 October 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per nom. MER-C 08:04, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
• Keep - the steering group for SIP need an article to balance the one for Skype - this is a "forum" as in a group, rather than an internet "forum". Ace of Risk 11:22, 12 October 2006 (UTC)

• Keep although not on the same level as the Open Group or the IETF they are basically the SIP steering commitee. They work with the IETF to define, maintain and change the [SIP] protocol. Ace of Risk is correct about the purpose of the SIP Forum and how this is not some PHPBB forum slapped up to get asterisk users. They exist and the article can easily be improved to demonstrate WP:WEB and WP:V. Quick googling reveals alot of information regarding the SIP Forum from people who do work with SIP. Unfortunately this article needs those references. --TrollHistorian 15:12, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
