This document provides detailed call flows for the scenarios documented in the Framework for Centralized Conferencing (XCON Framework) [RFC5239] (Barnes, M., Boulton, C., and O. Levin, “A Framework for Centralized Conferencing,” June 2008.) and the XCON Scenarios [RFC4597] (Even, R. and N. Ismail, “Conferencing Scenarios,” August 2006.). The XCON scenarios describe a broad range of use cases taking advantage of the advanced conferencing capabilities provided by a system realization of the XCON framework. The call flows document the use of the interface between a conference control client and a conference control server using the Centralized Conferencing Manipulation Protocol (CCMP)[I‑D.ietf‑xcon‑ccmp] (Barnes, M., Boulton, C., Romano, S., and H. Schulzrinne, “Centralized Conferencing Manipulation Protocol,” April 2010.).
Due to the broad range of functionality provided by the XCON Framework and the flexibility of the CCMP messaging, these call flows should not be considered inclusive of all the functionality that can provided by the XCON Framework and protocol implementations. These flows represent a sample to provide an overview of the feature rich capabilities of the XCON framework and CCMP messaging for protocol developers, software developers and researchers.

In this document, the key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" are to be interpreted as described in BCP 14, RFC 2119 [RFC2119] (Bradner, S., “Key words for use in RFCs to Indicate Requirement Levels,” March 1997.) and indicate requirement levels for compliant implementations. In this document, these key words are used when describing normative functionality based on the XCON Framework and CCMP.
Note that due to RFC formatting conventions, this document often splits message details whose content would exceed 72 characters. A backslash character marks where this line folding has taken place. This backslash and its trailing CRLF and whitespace would not appear in the actual protocol contents.

This document uses the same terminology as found in the referenced documents, with the following terms and abbreviations used in the call flows. Also, note that the term "call flows" is used in a very generic sense in this document since the media is not limited to voice. The calls supported by the XCON framework and CCMP can consist of media such as text, voice and video, including multiple media types in a single active conference.
- Conferencing and Media Client Client (CMCC):
- As defined in the XCON Framework. In the flows in this document, the CMCC is logically equivalent to the use of UAC as the client notation in the media control call flows [I‑D.ietf‑mediactrl‑call‑flows] (Amirante, A., Castaldi, T., Miniero, L., and S. Romano, “Media Control Channel Framework (CFW) Call Flow Examples,” February 2010.).
- Conferencing Server (ConfS):
- As defined in the XCON Framework. In this document, the conferencing server is used interchangeably with the term Application Server (AS) as used in the Media Control Architectural Framework [RFC5567] (Melanchuk, T., “An Architectural Framework for Media Server Control,” June 2009.). However, these need not be the same entities in an implementation.
- Media Server (MS):
- As defined in the Media Control Architectural Framework [RFC5567] (Melanchuk, T., “An Architectural Framework for Media Server Control,” June 2009.).

This document provides a sampling of detailed call flows that can be implemented based on a system realization of [RFC5239] (Barnes, M., Boulton, C., and O. Levin, “A Framework for Centralized Conferencing,” June 2008.) and implementation of [I‑D.ietf‑xcon‑ccmp] (Barnes, M., Boulton, C., Romano, S., and H. Schulzrinne, “Centralized Conferencing Manipulation Protocol,” April 2010.). This is intended to be a simple guide on the use of the conference control protocol between the Conference Server and the Conference Control Client. The objective is to provide an informational base reference for protocol developers, software developers and researchers.
This document focuses on the interaction between the Conference (and Media) Control Client and the Conferencing system, specifically the Conference Server. The scenarios are based on those described in the XCON framework, many of which are based on the advanced conferencing capabilities described in the XCON scenarios. Additional scenarios have been added to provide examples of other real life scenarios that are anticipated to be supported by the framework. With the exception of an initial example with media control messaging, the examples do not include the details for the media control [I‑D.ietf‑mediactrl‑mixer‑control‑package] (McGlashan, S., Melanchuk, T., and C. Boulton, “A Mixer Control Package for the Media Control Channel Framework,” February 2010.), call signaling or binary floor control [RFC4582] (Camarillo, G., Ott, J., and K. Drage, “The Binary Floor Control Protocol (BFCP),” November 2006.) protocols. This document references the scenarios in the Media Control call flows [I‑D.ietf‑mediactrl‑call‑flows] (Amirante, A., Castaldi, T., Miniero, L., and S. Romano, “Media Control Channel Framework (CFW) Call Flow Examples,” February 2010.), SIP Call Control Conferencing [RFC4579] (Johnston, A. and O. Levin, “Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Call Control - Conferencing for User Agents,” August 2006.) and binary floor control protocol documents.

This section provides the details associated with the various ways in which a conference can be created using CCMP and the XCON framework constructs. As previously mentioned the details of the media control, call signaling and floor control protocols, where applicable, are annotated in the flows without showing all the details. However, for clarification purposes, the first example Section 5.1 (Basic Conference Creation) provides the details of the media control messaging along with an example of the standard annotation used throughout the remainder of this document. In subsequent flows, only this annotation (identified by lower case letters) is included and the reader is encouraged to refer to the call flows in the relevant documents for details for the other protocols. The annotations for the call signaling are on the left side of the conferencing server vertical bar and those for the media control messaging are on the right side.

The simplest manner in which a conference can be created is accomplished by the client sending a "confRequest" message with the "create" operation as the only parameter to the conference server, together with the "confUserID" associated with the requesting client itself. This results in the creation of a default conference, with an XCON-URI in the form of the "confObjID" parameter, the XCON-UserID in the form of the "confUserID" parameter (the same already present in the request) and the data for the conference object in the "confInfo" parameter all returned in the "confResponse" message. According to the implementation of the framework, this example may also add the user that invoked the conference upon creation to the conference object (e.g., "method" attribute in the "target" element of "allowed-users-list" may be set to "dial out" for this client based on the particular conferencing systems default). This is exactly the case depicted in the figure, which is presented to enrich the scenario. Note that, depending upon the conferencing system, this default conference could be specific to the client requesting the conference and thus may be different for the initiator than other participants (e.g., IVR interactions in this case which are not shown).
The specific data for the conference object is returned in the "confResponse" message in the "confInfo" parameter. This allows the client (with the appropriate authorization) to manipulate this data and add additional participants to the conference, as well as change the data during the conference. In addition, the client may distribute the conferencing information to other participants allowing them to join, the details of which are provided in additional flows. Please notice that, according to CCMP specification, the restitution of the new conference data in the "confInfo" parameter is not mandatory: if the "confInfo" parameter of the successful confResponse/create is void, a following confRequest/retrieve of the returned "confObjID" can be triggered to provide the requesting client with the detailed conference description.
Clients that are not XCON-aware may join the conference using a specific signaling interface such as SIP [RFC3261] (Rosenberg, J., Schulzrinne, H., Camarillo, G., Johnston, A., Peterson, J., Sparks, R., Handley, M., and E. Schooler, “SIP: Session Initiation Protocol,” June 2002.), using the signaling interface to the conference focus as described in [RFC4579] (Johnston, A. and O. Levin, “Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Call Control - Conferencing for User Agents,” August 2006.). However, these details are not shown in the message flows. The message flows in this document identity the point in the message flows at which this signaling occurs via the lower case letter items (i.e., (a)...(x)) along with the appropriate text for the processing done by the conferencing server.

A conference can also be created by the client sending a "confRequest" message with the "create" operation, along with the desired data in the form of the "confInfo" parameter for the conference to be created. The request also includes the "confUserID" of the requesting entity. If the conferencing system can support that specific type of conference (capabilities, etc.), then the request results in the creation of a conference. In this success case, an XCON-URI in the form of the "confObjID" parameter and the XCON-UserID in the form of the "confUserID" parameter (again, the same as the requesting entity) are returned in the "confResponse" message. In this example, we choose not to return the created conference object in the successful "confResponse" in the "confInfo" parameter.
This example also activates the conference upon creation (i.e., "method" attribute is set to "dial out" for this client based on the particular conferencing systems default). Just as before, this is not to be considered mandatory, since it depends on the implementation choices of the framework. Note that, depending upon the conferencing system, this default conference could be specific to the client requesting the conference and thus may be different for the initiator than other participants (e.g., IVR interactions in this case which are not shown).

A client can also create another conference by cloning an existing conference, such as an active conference or conference reservation. In this example, the client sends a "confRequest" message with the "create" operation, along with the "confUserID" and a specific "confObjID", from which a new conference is to be created by cloning an existing conference.
An example of how a client can create a conference based on a blueprint is provided in Section 5.4 (Conference Creation using Blueprints). The manner by which a client in this example might learn about a conference reservation or active conferences is similar to the first step in the blueprint example, with the exception of specifying querying for different types of conference objects supported by the specific conferencing system. For example, in this example, the client clones a conference reservation (i.e., an inactive conference).
If the conferencing system can support a new instance of the specific type of conference(capabilities, etc.), then the request results in the creation of a conference, with an XCON-URI in the form of a new value in the "confObjID" parameter to reflect the newly cloned conference object returned in the "confResponse" message.

The following scenarios are based on those documented in the XCON framework. The examples assume that a conference has already been correctly established, with media, if applicable, per one of the examples in Section 5 (Conference Creation).

In this example, as shown in Figure 10 (Recording and Announcements) "Alice" is joining "Bob"'s conference that requires that she first enter a pass code. After successfully entering the passcode, an announcement prompts "Alice to speak her name so it can be recorded. When "Alice" is added to the active conference, the recording is played back to all the existing participants. A very similar example is presented in Figure 33 of [I‑D.ietf‑mediactrl‑call‑flows] (Amirante, A., Castaldi, T., Miniero, L., and S. Romano, “Media Control Channel Framework (CFW) Call Flow Examples,” February 2010.).

The conferencing system also needs the capability to monitor for DTMF from each individual participant. This would typically be used to enter the identifier and/or access code for joining a specific conference.
An example of DTMF monitoring, within the context of the framework elements, is shown in Figure 10 (Recording and Announcements). A typical way for the conferencing system to be aware of all the DTMF interactions within the context of conferences it is responsible for, is making use of the MEDIACTRL architecture for what regards media manipulation. Examples in that sense (specifically for what concerns DTMF interception in conference instances) are presented in [I‑D.ietf‑mediactrl‑call‑flows] (Amirante, A., Castaldi, T., Miniero, L., and S. Romano, “Media Control Channel Framework (CFW) Call Flow Examples,” February 2010.).

In this example, "Alice" wants to add "Bob" to an established conference. In the following example we assume "Bob" is a new user to the system, which means "Alice" also needs to provide details about him. In fact, the case of "Bob" already present as a user in the conferencing system is much easier to address, and will be discussed later on.

- To conclude the overview on this scenario, once "Bob" has been successfully added to the specified conference, per updates to the state, and depending upon the policies, other participants (including "Bob" himself) may be notified of the addition of "Bob" to the conference via the Conference Notification Service.

| Figure 13: Add Party Message Details |
| TOC |
This section provides an example of the muting of a party in an active conference. The unmuting would involve the identical CCMP message flow. Although, in the case that floor control is involved, whether or not a particular conference client can unmute itself must be considered by the conferencing system.
- Please notice that interaction between CCMP and floor control should be carefully considered. In fact, handling CCMP- and BFCP-based media control has to be considered as multiple layers: i.e., a participant may have the BFCP floor granted, but be muted by means of CCMP. If so, he would still be muted in the conference, and would only be unmuted if both the protocols allowed for this.
Figure 14 (Client Manipulation of Conference - Mute a party) provides an example of one client "Alice" impacting the media state of another client "Bob". This example assumes an established conference. In this example, the client, "Alice" whose Role is "moderator" of the conference, wants to mute "Bob" on a medium-size multi-party conference, as his device is not muted (and he's obviously not listening to the call) and background noise in his office environment is disruptive to the conference. BFCP floor control is assumed not to be involved.

Figure 16 (Client Creation of a Sidebar Conference) provides an example of one client "Alice" involved in active conference with "Bob" and "Carol". "Alice" wants to create a sidebar to have a side discussion with "Bob" while still viewing the video associated with the main conference. Alternatively, the audio from the main conference could be maintained at a reduced volume. "Alice" initiates the sidebar by sending a request to the conferencing system to create a conference reservation based upon the active conference object. "Alice" and "Bob" would remain on the roster of the main conference, such that other participants could be aware of their participation in the main conference, while an internal-sidebar conference is occurring. Besides, "Bob" decides that he is not interested in still receiving the conference audio in background (not even at a lower volume as "Alice" configured) and so modifies the sidebar in order to make that stream inactive for him.

This is the representation of the conference the sidebar is going to be created in. As such, it will be used by the conferencing system in order to create the new conference object associated with the sidebar. In fact, the sidebar creation happens through a cloning of the parent conference. Once the sidebar is created, an "update" makes sure that the sidebar is customized as needed. The following protocol dump makes the process clearer.

Figure 18 (Client Creation of an External Sidebar) provides an example of a different approach towards sidebar. In this scenario, one client, "Alice", is involved in an active conference with "Bob", "Carol", "David" and "Ethel". "Alice" gets an important text message via a whisper from "Bob" that a critical customer needs to talk to "Alice", "Bob" and "Ethel". "Alice" creates a sidebar to have a side discussion with the customer "Fred" including the participants in the current conference with the exception of "Carol" and "David", who remain in the active conference. The difference from the previous scenario is that "Fred" is not part of the parent conference: this means that different policies might be involved, considering that "Fred" may access information coming from the parent conference, in case the sidebar was configured accordingly. For this reason, in this scenario we assume that "Alice" disables all the media from the original (parent) conference within the sidebar. This means that, while in the previous example "Alice" and "Bob" still heard the audio from the main conference in background, this time no background is made available. "Alice" initiates the sidebar by sending a request to the conferencing system to create a conference reservation based upon the active conference object. "Alice", "Bob" and "Ethel" would remain on the roster of the main conference in a hold state. Whether or not the hold state of these participants is visible to other participants depends upon the individual and local policy.

Floor control with sidebars can be used to realize conferencing scenario such as an analyst briefing. In this scenario, the conference call has a panel of speakers who are allowed to talk in the main conference. The other participants are the analysts, who are not allowed to speak unless they have the floor. To request access to the floor, they have to join a new sidebar with the moderator and ask their question. The moderator can also whisper to each analyst what their status/position in the floor control queue, similar to the example in Figure 23 (Whisper). It should be noted that other mechanisms which don't make use of sidebars could be used for floor control such as those detailed in BFCP.
Figure 20 (Floor Control with sidebars) provides an example of the configuration involved for this type of conference. As in the previous sidebar examples, there is the main conference along with a sidebar. "Alice" and "Bob" are the main participants in the conference, with "A1", "A2" and "A3" representing the analysts. The sidebar remains active throughout the conference, with the moderator, "Carol", serving as the chair. As discussed previously, the sidebar conference is NOT independent of the active conference (i.e., parent). The analysts are provided the conference object ID associated with the active sidebar when they join the main conference. The conferencing system also allocates a conference ID to be used for any subsequent manipulations of the sidebar conference. The conferencing system maintains the mapping between this conference ID and the conference object ID associated with the active sidebar conference through the conference instance. The analysts are permanently muted while in the main conference. The analysts are moved to the sidebar when they wish to speak. Only one analyst is given the floor at a given time. All participants in the main conference receive audio from the sidebar conference, as well as audio provided by the panelists in the main conference.
(To Be added).

The case of private messages can be handled as a sidebar with just two participants, similarly to the example in section Section 6.5 (Internal Sidebar). Unlike the previous example, anyway, rather than using audio within the sidebar, "Alice" could just add an additional text based media stream to the sidebar in order to convey her whisper. From the protocol point of view, with reference to the messages described in Figure 17 (Internal Sidebar Messaging Details), only the third CCMP message (a sidebarByValRequest/update) changes, as depicted in Figure 22 (SidebarByVal Update for private messages scenario).

The other context, referred to as whisper, in this document refers to situations involving one time media targetted to specific user(s). An example of a whisper would be an announcement injected only to the conference chair or to a new participant joining a conference. Please notice that such an announcement would not be conveyed by means of CCMP, while rather by means of a notification protocol related to it, e.g. a SIP event package, XMPP, or even a multimedia announcement. CCMP would only be involved with respect to the creation of an ad-hoc sidebar, as it will be clearer in the following lines.
Figure 23 (Whisper) provides an example of one user "Alice" who's chairing a fixed length conference with "Bob" and "Carol". The configuration is such that only the chair is providing a warning when there is only 10 minutes left in the conference. At that time, "Alice" is moved into a sidebar created by the conferencing system and only "Alice" receives the announcement.
(To Be completed).

An example of observing and coaching is shown in figure Figure 25 (Supervisor Creating a Sidebar for Observing/Coaching). In this example, call center agent "Bob" is involved in a conference with customer "Carol". Since "Bob" is a new agent and "Alice" sees that he has been on the call with "Carol" for longer than normal, she decides to observe the call and coach "Bob" as necessary.
Consider the following as the conference document associated with the video conference involving Bob (the call agent) and Carol (the customer) (Figure 24 (A call-center conference object example)):

The following scenarios detail the basic operations associated with removing participants from conferences and entirely deleting conferences. The examples assume that a conference has already been correctly established, with media, if applicable, per one of the examples in Section 5 (Conference Creation).
| TOC |
Figure 27 (Client Manipulation of Conference - Remove a party) provides an example of one client "Alice" removing another participant "Bob" from a conference. This example assumes an established conference with "Alice", "Bob", "Claire" and "Duck". In this example, "Alice" wants to remove "Bob" from the conference so that the group can continue in the same conference without "Bob"'s participation.

The following are additional scenarios making use of the XCON framework and associated protocols. In some cases, these examples make use of some of the building block scenarios detailed in the previous example sections, in which case the appropriate scenario is referenced rather than duplicating details. In addition, in cases where the scenarios make use of other protocols, as in the previous section, the appropriate reference in the form of a title to the specific flow in the appropriate protocol document is included.
| TOC |
The chat functionality described in this section of the document allows clients that use the XCON framework and protocols for other media types (e.g. voice/video) to utilize the same conference control mechanisms and conferencing system to establish, update and delete a conference instance associated with an Instant Messaging (IM) chat session, independent of the IM chat protocol. In some cases(e.g., Message Session Relay Protocol (MSRP) chat), this would provide additional capabilities, such as sidebars. This approach also allows the conferencing system to provide a natural interworking point for various IM protocols, the details of the interworking are outside the scope of this document.
An IM client wishing to join a conference uses standardized centralized conferencing mechanisms for creating and joining a conference, as identified in the previous sections. The request to send an IM to an IM media session is specific to the IM protocol (e.g., MSRP SEND), just as there is specific media control messaging for other types of sessions. An IM client connecting to a conferencing system has a 1:1 relationship with the IM media signaling entity in the conferencing system. This relationship is referred to as an IM session. Further details of the correlation of the IM session identifiers with the XCON session identifiers is provided in [I‑D.boulton‑xcon‑session‑chat] (Barnes, M., Boulton, C., and S. Loreto, “Chatrooms within a Centralized Conferencing (XCON) System,” July 2009.). The IM media signaling entity is responsible for distribution of all the messages to the other participants.
As with the other example conferences created, each IM session is logically associated with a specific conference. The conference itself has a specific identifier in the form of the XCON-URI, which is passed in the "confObjID" element in the CCMP messages. This provides the relevant association between IM session and a centralized conference.
An IM client wishing to delete a chat room uses standardized mechanisms for deleting a conference instance, such as those detailed in Section 7.2 (Deleting a Conference).
| TOC |
This section provides details of the realization of the Multi-party IM (chat) within the context of the centralized conferencing framework. A brief discussion and diagrams are provided for creating, joining, and deleting a chat based conference. The discovery of chat rooms available on a specific conferencing system is inherent in the blueprint capability provided by the conferencing system. The objective of this section is to further illustrate the model, mechanisms and protocols presented in the previous sections and also serves to validate that the model, mechanisms and protocols are sufficient to support IM chat.
It should be noted that not all entities impacted by the request are shown in the diagram (e.g., Focus), but rather the emphasis is on the new entities introduced by this centralized conferencing framework.
| TOC |
There are different ways to create a conference. A participant can create a conference using call signaling means only, such as SIP, as detailed in [RFC4579] (Johnston, A. and O. Levin, “Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Call Control - Conferencing for User Agents,” August 2006.). For a conferencing client to have more flexibility in defining the charaterisitics and capabilities of a chat based conference, a conferencing client would implement a conference control protocol client. By using a conference control protocol, the client can determine the capabilities of a conferencing system and its various resources.
Figure 31 (Client Creation of Chat room) provides an example of one client "Alice" determining the conference blueprints available to support various types of chat rooms for a particular conferencing system and creating a chat based conference using the desired blueprint.
Details to be added.
| Figure 31: Client Creation of Chat room |
Upon receipt of the Conference Control Protocol request for blueprints associated with chat rooms, the conferencing system would first authenticate "Alice" (and allocate a conference user identifier, if necessary) and then ensure that "Alice" has the appropriate authority based on system policies to receive any chat room based blueprints supported by that system. Any blueprints that "Alice" is authorized to use are returned in a response, along with the conference user ID.
Upon receipt of the Conference Control Protocol response containing the blueprints, "Alice" determines which blueprint to use for the conference to be created. "Alice" creates a conference object based on the blueprint (i.e., clones) and modifies applicable fields, such as membership list, topic details, and start time. "Alice" then sends a request to the conferencing system to create a conference reservation based upon the updated blueprint.
Upon receipt of the Conference Control Protocol request to "create" a conference based upon the blueprint in the request, the conferencing system ensures that the blueprint received is a valid blueprint (i.e. the values of the various field are within range). The conferencing system determines the appropriate read/write access of any users to be added to a conference based on this blueprint (using membership, roles, etc.). The conferencing system uses the received blueprint to clone a conference reservation. The conferencing system also reserves or allocates a conference ID to be used for any subsequent protocol requests from any of the members of the conference. The conferencing system maintains the mapping between this conference ID and the conference object ID associated with the reservation through the conference instance.
Upon receipt of the conference control protocol response to reserve the conference, "Alice" now creates an active chat room using that reservation. "Alice" provides the conference information, including the necessary conference ID, to desired participants to allow them to join the chat room. "Alice" may also add other users to the chat room. When the first participant, including "Alice", requests to be added to the conference, an active conference and focus are created. The focus is associated with the conference ID received in the request.

Plan is to reference detailed flows in
previous sections

| Figure 32: Chatroom Creation Messaging Details |
| TOC |
A participant can join and leave the conference using call signaling means only, such as SIP. However, in order to perform richer conference control a user client can implement a conference control protocol client. By using a conference control protocol, the client can affect its own state and the state of other participants, depending upon policies, which may indirectly affect the state of any of the conference participants.
In the example in section Section 8.1.1.1 (Creating a Chat Room), "Alice" has reserved a chat room . "Alice" has also already joined the conference and made the chat room active. "Alice" can either add additional participants to the chat room or provide the conference information, including the necessary conference ID, to desired participants and allow them to request to join themselves. Any participants that have the authority to manipulate the conference would receive the conference object identifier of the active conference object in the response to their request to join.
Figure 33 (Joining a chat room) provides an example of "Bob" joining the chat room using the conference ID provided by "Alice" (e.g., in an IM).
Details to be added.
| Figure 33: Joining a chat room |
Upon receipt of the Conference Control Protocol request to "add" a party ("Bob") in the specific conference as identified by the conference object ID, the conferencing system must determine whether "Bob" is already a user of this conferencing system or whether he is a new user. If "Bob" is a new user for this conferencing system, a Conference User Identifier is created for Bob. The conferencing system must also ensure that "Bob" has the appropriate authority based on the policies associated with that specific conference object to perform the operation.
Once "Bob" has been successfully added to the chat room, a response is sent to "Bob". Depending upon the policies, other participants (including "Bob") may be notified of the addition of "Bob" to the conference via the Conference Notification Service.

previous sections as appropriate
in the example.)
| Figure 34: Chatroom Join Messaging Details |
| TOC |
Depending upon the conferencing system policies and policies specific to the chat room, the creator of the chat would typically be the participant authorized to delete the chat room.
In the example in section Section 8.1.1.1 (Creating a Chat Room), "Alice" has created a chat room and provided the conference information, including the necessary conference ID, to desired participants and allow them to request to join themselves. "Bob" and others are participants in the chat. Figure 35 (Deleting a chat room) provides an example of "Alice" later deleting this same chat room.
Details to be added.
| Figure 35: Deleting a chat room |
Upon receipt of the Conference Control Protocol request to "delete" the specific chat room as identified by the conference object ID, the conferencing system must determine whether "Alice" has the authority to delete this conference. Since "Alice" is the creator of the conference, the "delete" operation is performed, with the appropriate signaling sent to the participants, including a response to "Alice" indicating that the chat room has been deleted.
One step in the deletion of the chat room may include notifitying the participants (including "Bob") that they have been removed via the Conference Notification Service.

| Figure 36: Chatroom Deletion Messaging Details |
| TOC |
This section provides details of the realization of advanced chat features, such as sidebars and private messages, within the context of the centralized conferencing framework. As with Section 8.1.1 (Basic Chat Operations), the objective of this section is to further illustrate the model, mechanisms and protocols presented in the previous sections and also serves to validate that the model, mechanisms and protocols are sufficient to support advance IM chat features.
| TOC |
The concept of a 'sidebar' in conferencing system is fully described in the Sidebar section and related subsections within the Conferencing Scenarios Realization section of the centralized conferencing framework document [RFC5239] (Barnes, M., Boulton, C., and O. Levin, “A Framework for Centralized Conferencing,” June 2008.). The creation, manipulation and deletion of sidebars for chat rooms follows the same principles.
A conference object representing a sidebar is created by cloning the parent associated with the existing conference and updating any information specific to the sidebar. A sidebar conference object is implicitly linked to the parent conference object (i.e. it is not an independent object) and is associated with the parent conference object identifier. A conferencing system manages and enforces the parent and appropriate localized restrictions on the sidebar conference object (e.g., no members from outside the parent conference instance can join, sidebar conference can not exist if parent conference is terminated, etc.).
Figure 37 (Client Creation of a Sidebar Conference) provides an example of one client "Alice" involved in active chat room with "Bob" and "Carol". "Alice" wants to create a sidebar to have a side discussion with "Bob" while still receiving the session based messaging associated with the main chat room. Whether the text is interleaved with the main chat or whether a separate window is created for the sidebar is implementation specific. "Alice" initiates the sidebar by sending a request to the conferencing system to create a conference chat reservation based upon the active chat conference object. "Alice" and "Bob" would remain on the roster of the main conference, such that other participants could be aware of their participation in the main conference, while the text sidebar conference is occurring.
Details to be added.
| Figure 37: Client Creation of a Sidebar Conference |
Upon receipt of the Conference Control Protocol request to "reserve" a new sidebar chat conference, based upon the active chat conference received in the request, the conferencing system uses the received active chat conference to clone a conference chat reservation for the sidebar. As discussed previously, the sidebar reservation is NOT independent of the active conference (i.e., parent). The conferencing system also reserves or allocates a conference ID to be used for any subsequent protocol requests from any of the members of the conference. The conferencing system maintains the mapping between this conference ID and the conference object ID associated with the sidebar reservation through the conference instance.
Upon receipt of the conference control protocol response to reserve the conference, "Alice" can now create an active chat conference using that reservation or create additional reservations based upon the existing reservations. In this example, "Alice" wants only "Bob" to be involved in the sidebar, thus she manipulates the membership. "Alice" also only wants the text from the original conference, but wants the text within the sidebar to be restricted to the participants in the sidebar. "Alice" sends a conference control protocol request to update the information in the reservation and to create an active conference.
Upon receipt of the conference control protocol request to update the reservation and to create an active chat conference for the sidebar, as identified by the conference object ID, the conferencing system ensures that "Alice" has the appropriate authority based on the policies associated with that specific conference object to perform the operation. The conferencing system must also validate the updated information in the reservation, ensuring that a member like "Bob" is already a user of this conferencing system.
Depending upon the policies, the initiator of the request (i.e., "Alice") and the participants in the sidebar (i.e., "Bob") may be notified of his addition to the sidebar via the conference notification service.
Details to be added.
| Figure 38: Chatroom Sidebar Messaging Details |
| TOC |
The case of private messages can be handled as a sidebar with just two participants, identical to the example in section Section 8.1.2.1 (Text Sidebar). The other context, referred to as whisper, in this document refers to situations involving one time media targetted to specific user(s). An example of a whisper would be a text message injected only to the conference chair or to a new participant joining a conference.
Figure 39 (Whisper) provides an example of one user "Alice" who's chairing a fixed length conference with "Bob" and "Carol". The configuration is such that only the chair is providing a warning when there is only 10 minutes left in the conference. At that time, "Alice" is moved into a sidebar created by the conferencing system and only "Alice" receives that text message announcing the 10 minute warning.
Details to be added.
| Figure 39: Whisper |
When the conferencing system determines that there is only 10 minutes left in the conference which "Alice" is chairing, rather than creating a reservation as was done for the sidebar in Section 8.1.2.1 (Text Sidebar), the conferencing system directly creates an active chat sidebar conference, based on the active chat conference associated with "Alice". As discussed previously, the sidebar conference is NOT independent of the active conference (i.e., parent). The conferencing system also allocates a conference ID to be used for any subsequent manipulations of the sidebar chat conference. The conferencing system maintains the mapping between this conference ID and the conference object ID associated with the active sidebar conference through the conference instance.
Immediately upon creation of the active chat sidebar conference, the text announcement is provided to "Alice". Depending upon the policies, Alice may be notified of her addition to the sidebar via the conference notification service. "Alice" continues to receive the text messages from the main conference.
Upon delivery of the text announcement, "Alice" is removed from the sidebar and the sidebar conference is deleted. Depending upon the policies, "Alice" may be notified of her removal from the sidebar via the conference notification service.
Details to be added.

The security considerations applicable to the implementation of these call flows is documented in the XCON Framework, with additional security considerations documented in the CCMP document. Where applicable, statements with regards to the necessary security are discussed in particular flows, however, since this is only an informational document, readers are strongly recommended to carefully consider the security considerations defined in the XCON Framework and the CCMP document.
