Abstract

   This document presents a set of Session Initiation Protocol
   (SIP) user requirements that support communications for deaf, hard of
   hearing and speech-impaired individuals.  These user requirements
   address the current difficulties of deaf, hard of hearing and
   speech-impaired individuals in using communications facilities, while
   acknowledging the multi-functional potential of SIP-based
   communications.

   A number of issues related to these user requirements are further
   raised in this document.

   Also included are some real world scenarios and some technical
   requirements to show the robustness of these requirements on a
   concept-level.
