This paper discusses H.323 communication as it is being developed and
implemented within the context of today's Internet (I1 and I2). As such it suggests a model that the authors believe can be developed using current thinking, protocols, and practices. It is also intended to support a vision for future communication development that will allow multi-mode communication to become more universally useful for end-users while becoming more sophisticated and reliable in its technological foundation.
The authors see the concepts emerging within and around the development of the H.323 standard as some of the most promising today for enabling
Internet-extensible multi-mode global communication. After a brief
presentation of a communication model, several problems and concerns with the present state of H.323 communication are presented along with specific recommendations for changes in these areas.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
