The plan is that authors will submit a -04 individual draft making that change, and will confirm with the AVTCORE chairs to adopt that version/

The proposal was found to be only marginally more efficient than the feedback message defined in https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-holmer-rmcat-transport-wide-cc-extensions <https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-holmer-rmcat-transport-wide-cc-extensions> which is available in open source and is in widespread usage.  In one of his first acts as Apple CEO, Steve Jobs killed a number of projects that were "different but not better".  This makes me wonder whether the IETF would not benefit from that level of realism. 

As an individual, I find the approach taken in the transport-wide-cc-extensions a very poor fit with RTP. It also doesn’t convey ECN feedback information, which is needed by several of the candidate congestion control algorithms being proposed in RMCAT.
