MSF Activities Relevant to ForCES • Text corresponding to drawings and additional detail in MSF Architecture document at www.msforum.org • MSF continuing to work on refining architectural model for separated IP-based services and applications • MSF has contributed to IETF MEGACO and GSMP using IETF Internet Draft process, and may do so if ForCES is adopted via IETF as a working group
