I'm quite happy to be flexible about this, can anyone suggest alternatives?
One option is to just un-abbreviate it, and use a name like "Multi-media
real-time communications (RTC) track" - if that is not too long then I'm
happy to use that
Whenever I have used the term VoIP, which is quite distinctive, I've
found that it disenfranchises those who are working on things like
social networking, micro blogging and other non-voice applications while
still using SIP or XMPP as the underlying protocol. As it is a track
and not just me giving a talk, I'm simply trying to be inclusive.
Ideally at least one person from that background would join the track -
there are several DDs active in those areas.
