Peter,

I think that "Forum" is a bit weak sounding. Given a choice, I'd be more
inclined to accept standards from a "foundation" rather than a "forum".
There's little chance we won't be perceived as open given our history.
:) I'd also argue that "foundation" has a more non-profit/open source
feel, which is more in tune with the character of the community than the
more commercial-sounding "forum". That along with differentiation from
SIP Forum makes me +1 on Foundation.

Regards,
