I had a discussion this morning with Brad Gilmer, the Chair of the new
SMPTE 32NF AHG 2022 Ad Hoc group - also known as 32nf-vbr.

A lot of the familiar VSF people are part of it. and Carl Ostrom and  
John Dale were both on the call.

This AHG may move in due course to a due process WG with a more formal  
process.
It is open to any technical SMPTE member and, as such, I intend to  
join it.

Administrivia : There will be face to face meetings interspersed with  
bi-weekly phone calls, nominally 1 hour.

The next meeting is 18 September in Gilze, The Netherlands. After that,
the next F2F committee Week of the 7th Dec at Disney in Burbank CA,  
then March 1 at National Semi-conductor, Santa Clara, CA.

Dial in info for the next call is

Gliese in the Netherlands 16th September 3-4 PM CET
866 740 1260
3851273

There will also be a VSF meeting Oct 6,7,8 in Charlotte NC and many of  
the principals will be there.

ATV & FECFRAME

We discussed the relationship between this effort and the IETF. They  
would like for as much as possible of
the background work be done by the IETF.

I think that the natural basis for this on the FECFRAME side would be  
Ali's 1-D-2-D draft. I expressed this
opinion to Brad et al., and they were agreeable although, of course,  
there are details to be worked out.

Now is clearly the time to influence this process.

My suggestions

- That we respond ASAP to the Wendy Aylsworth with an email stating  
that we intend to work with them
and to set up liaisons. (Does this have to go through the IESG, or can  
it be done informally?) The email itself
can just say we intend to do it, without even specifying names.

I would be glad to be the point person for this for FECFRAME but I  
think that there should be someone else
for AVT (assuming that the AVT chairs agree with this process).

- Relatively soon we have a phone call with Brad to discuss  
administrative issues and moving forward.

- Also, I think we should have a working phone call including Ali to  
discuss the 1d-2d draft and what they see are the issues with it.  
After that, I would hope that any work could be conducted by email.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Regards
Marshall
