right, ok

not sure about this one, but it will be possible to specify his e164
number for people who have one independantly of GM.

Netmeeting is dead, H.323 people are using gatekeepers (+ LDAP
soemtimes), not ILS.

That's still to be proven. If SIP is going through NAT using RTP, then
there is no technical reason why H.323 wouldn't go through NAT either,
except if SIP replaces RTP by something else.

No me at least, I've gone in several companies and LDAP servers are
usually public inside those companies => no password to be able to
consult.

That works a bit differently with both SIP and H.323, but don't worry, I
won't make things less good than with proprietary clients :)
