[Rmt] MPEG liaison to IETF

Title: MPEG liaison to IETF

Hi AVT, MMUSIC, FECFRAME, RMT, and all,

MPEG sent another liaison to the IETF, again with the subject of MPEG possibly becoming engaged in new media transport work.  I have attached a PDF version; the usual ZIP file should show up in the IETF liaison archives shortly.   

I have not been in London and, therefore, I’m unable to provide more insight into the relevance, or seriousness, of this exercise.  However, reading the statement (and between its lines), it appears that at least some folks in MPEG would want to work on topics the IETF would normally be interested in, whereas others are perhaps happy with the current worksplit.  I’m fairly sure that now would be a good time to clarify the IETF’s view on standardization territory to MPEG.

MPEG asks for the IETF’s input by their October meeting, and my suggestion would be that the chairs of the WGs possibly affected (to which this email is addressed) should coordinate and send them a response by that timeframe.

Stephan
