The chairs propose to send a response to JPEG stating:

``We are pleased to receive notification of ongoing developments in  
JPEG pertaining to ISO/IEC 29199 "JPEG digital imaging systems  
integration" and the new JPEG XR image coding standard. If JPEG  
should consider the development of a Motion JPEG XR variant, as was  
done with in Part 3 of the JPEG 2000 standard, we encourage the  
interested parties to work within the IETF Audio/Video Transport  
Working Group to develop an RTP Payload Format specification, to  
allow integration of JPEG XR with the Real-time Transport Protocol,  
and associated IETF standards for video conferencing, streaming, and  
IPTV.

In addition, we encourage JPEG to register JPEG XR with the IANA as  
an Internet media subtype, to facilitate its use with the world-wide  
web, email, etc.''

Please send any comments on this response to the chairs within the  
next week.

Thanks,
