Thank you all very much for your attendance at the Codec BoF yesterday (especially those on the US West Coast who were up at 04:00 to join remotely). The room was packed with interested and passionate parties. The discussion was sensible and relevant. Many helpful contributions of data and perspective were provided. Much progress was made. For our part, we -- Cullen, AD, and Gregory, IAB BoF Shepherd -- apologize for ending the BoF abruptly and without healthy closure containing a sufficient summary. This email serves to provide that summary and closure. According to the general IETF process, the next steps for this efforts are: - IESG will solicit feedback from stakeholders and advisors. This includes: - Codec mail list - the broader community (though said community really should participate on the Codec mail list) - the IAB - other SDOs - IETF liaisons to other SDOs - the IESG will then discuss and determine next steps. Options for those next steps hypothetically include: - take no additional actions (essentially, the IESG stops working on this) - form a Working Group - hold another BoF (perhaps in IETF76, Hiroshima) - suggest focus or specific action items to those on the Codec mail list. The IESG and IAB discussed the CODEC BOF this morning and came out with several observations about the BOF (in accordance with RFC2418, Sect 2.1): Accomplishments: - overall issue is clear and relevant - risks and urgency were flushed out - strong interest and participation - sufficient expertise - sufficient, if not strong, number of commitments to contribute to key work areas - large base of interested consumers for the technology - understanding that a goal would involved producing a royalty free codec - understanding it would not be possible to guarantee that resulting codecs would be royalty free - clearly an open IETF effort - excellent understanding of existing work relevant, and possibly overlapping Still needs work: - better clarification/defined goals in charter, with stronger consensus - define requirements in far better depth, (I-Ds would be nice) - further investigation on the role IETF has to play in this technology area, especially in light of other SDOs The IESG's decisions and next steps: - with IAB, respond to other SDO liaisons already sent us - continue monitoring progress The IESG and IAB considers the coordination with other interested SDO's very important, especially on this topic, and will continue open coordination with other SDOs, and respond to the Liaisons sent us to date. Thanks for your continued participation, great input, healthy discussion, and (hopefully) useful text contributions. Cullen <RAI AD> Gregory <IAB>
