RE: [Rmt] Should RS FEC I-D be a working group item?

[Rod.Walsh at nokia.com]

As said an IETF ago, I'm also in favour. I think taking this exact code
(which has become the de facto in open source university efforts) makes
a lot of sense.

I also think it's worth considering Brian's comments about GF(8) and
GF(16). Whether we should accept also these into RMT as a WG item?
(Obviously we would need someone to start writing them and an individual
submission - would be the right place to start). But for now, is the
proposal only based on accepting the Luigi's/MDS I-D?

Cheers, Rod.
