Hi Max,
That seems reasonable to me, although I am not exactly sure how I can focus more on VXML than web services since it is the ws framework that makes it better than a simple VXML connection. That is, the framework assures authentication and permissions for levels of access to information in a specific kind of transaction environment that can be pre-registered and pre-arranged in terms of establishing what kinds of information will be exchanged, but I think I can construct a scenario/use case that illustrates this without leaning too heavily on web services references per se.
I can give you a heads up about the most likely scenario I will use for a variety of reasons. It will be in the context of Emergency Management Services Delivery. It will necessarily encompass a focused example of an Emergency First Responder in the field using a VXML-enabled handheld wireless device such as a a web-capable cell phone or walkie talkie and the environment described will most likely be an Incident Command System context. While this is a US federal governmental model, it is not untypical worldwide for wildfire emergencies, search and rescure, etc., but it is also the most likely candidate system to be conducive to adoption because it is currently being cast in an XML model, at least that's what I happen to be doing with it as part of the OASIS Emergency Management Technical Committee's Notifications and Messaging Subcommittee.
As you can see, I tend to focus on collaborative endeavors where I can put one of the standards activities I have joined to work within the context of another to create concrete results from interoperability. Unfortunately, having grown up in Southern California, in some of the areas recently ravaged by wildfires, I could probably cite chapter and verse on how such a system could have been employed to greatly reduce the damage just incurred, but that is not germane right now.
If I might ask, where are you located? I will be giving a presentation in the Washington, D.C. area Dec. 9, at the same time as the XML 2003 Conference in Philadelphia, where I will also visit that evening, barring the unforeseen. It might be a help if we could connect in person for a few minutes if we happened to be in same vicinity. I am anything but an expert in VoiceXML concepts, so some idea of where this field is headed would be appreciated, and might help me overcome my own rather myopic, self-interested, concepts about the field.
Thanks,
Rex

At this point we don't think that an official liaison process is
necessary, but rather that we can keep a WG/TC collaboration fast and
informal enough.
The current WSRP spec is perhaps too generic to stir the interest of
the Voice Browser WG (or the multimodal interaction WG), But probably
the best way to proceed would be to write a statement of your
intentions to focus on VXML, written in such a way that it is more
VXML-oriented than Web Services oriented, for instance showing a
complete example of why this is better than just a simple VoiceXML
file running on a server behind a telephone line. Then we could send
this to the Working Group, who I hope would pick it up and perhaps
help in developing your specification, advising on the best use of
VoiceXML.
Do you think that this would be a reasonable course of action?
Cheers,
Max.
