The IETF PSTN/IN Requesting InTernet Services (SPIRITS) Working Group is developing specifications and protocols that describe how telephony services in IP networks can be started from the PSTN (public-switched telephone network) and IN (Intelligent Network) requests. ICW is being addressed by this working group and was a work in progress at the time of this writing.

RFC 2995 (Pre-SPIRITS Implementations, November 2000) is dedicated to a discussion of Internet call waiting. See "Voice over IP (VoIP)" and refer to the SPIRITS Working Group Web page at http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/spirits-charter.html.
