[AVTCORE] Fwd: WG Action: Rechartered Audio/Video Transport Core Maintenance (avtcore)

Hi,

The recharter (below) represents the merge of AVTCORE and AVTEXT back 
into a single working group. We kept the name AVTCORE because it seemed 
to be the most reasonable choice for maintaining recent milestone 
history. Jonathan and Rachel will chair the new merged group. AVTEXT 
will close once we make sure all the ducks are aligned for AVTCORE.

Please join me in thanking Magnus and Roni for their many years of 
service as AVTCORE chairs.

Thanks!

Ben.

> The Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) along with its associated 
> profiles
> and payload formats provides for real-time transmission of audio and
> video over unicast and multicast transports. RTP is widely 
> implemented,
> and deployed for a wide range of applications, ranging from telephony 
> to
> television over IP. RTP itself has been shepherded to Full Standard. 
> Its
> associated profiles, extensions, and payload formats are currently at
> various levels of standards maturity. As new applications have 
> emerged,
> the need for guidelines for the use of the RTP/RTCP protocols and
> extensions specific to those applications has been identified.
>
> The AVTCORE working group is chartered to maintain the core RTP/RTCP
> specifications and the AVP, SAVP, AVPF, and SAVPF profiles. The group
> will provide architectural guidance for extending the protocols and
> guidelines for their proper use. While other working groups are 
> chartered
> to work on RTCP Extended Report Extensions (XRBLOCK) and RTP Payload
> Formats (PAYLOAD), extensions that are generally applicable will be
> developed in AVTCORE. The AVTCORE working group is also chartered to
> develop application-specific guidelines for the use of RTP/RTCP 
> protocols
> with the AVP, SAVP, AVPF, and SAVPF profiles, and extensions to those
> protocols that are driven by application-specific needs.
>
> The AVTCORE working group will coordinate closely with the Security 
> Area
> while working on maintenance and enhancements to the SRTP Profile
> (SAVP).

> Milestones:
>   Jun 2016 - Submit Mechanism for Layer Refresh Request for Proposed

>   Sep 2016 - Submit update for A General Mechanism for RTP Header
> Extensions (RFC5285) for publication as proposed standard
>   Oct 2016 - Submit RTP Header Extension for Video Frame Information

>   Nov 2016 - Submit Guidelines for using the Multiplexing Features of
