Re: [AVTCORE] Draft Reply to Liaison Letter about Green-Mpeg Updates

[Christian Herglotz <[e-mail]>]

Dear Stephan, dear everyone,

thanks a lot for the detailed descriptions, they are very helpful. As 
MPEG appreciates a reply to the LS letter, we propose to send the 
following reply letter for the next MPEG meeting in January. As 
mentioned by Stephan, we adopt the recommendation  to change "draft 
proposal" to "Internet Drafts".

  The IETF AVTCORE working group replies to the Liaison letter "Liaison 
statement to IETF on MPEG Green Metadata", Serial number 21052, from 
October 2021.

IETF AVTCORE working group acknowledges and appreciates your work on 
updating the specifications of the GREEN-MPEG standard and thinks that 
the following aspects could be of interest for IETF AVTCORE working group:

- The green metadata for "interactive signalling for remote decoder 
power reduction" is of interest for return channel signalling via, e.g., 
RTCP.
- It remains to be seen whether metadata signaling from the sender to 
the receiver could be included in IETF specifications, in particular 
when the content of the metadata is codec-independent (e.g., "quality 
recovery after low power encoding").

The AVTCORE working group is contributions driven and further work in 
the group can be pursued by providing Internet Drafts to be discussed 
via the AVTCORE working group email reflector.

Please let us know if you have any more feedback.


Best regards,
Christian
