[AVT] New milestones approved

["DRAGE, Keith (Keith)" <[e-mail]>]

(As WG cochair)

AVT now has some new approved milestones as follows.

Feb 2011  Guidelines for the use of Variable Bit Rate Audio with Secure RTP as informational (or possibly BCP)  
May 2011  RTCP indication for retransmission suppression as proposed standard  
Oct 2011  RTP Header extension for client to mixer audio level indication as proposed standard  
Oct 2011  RTP Header extension for mixer to client audio level indication as proposed standard 

Over the next few weeks we will progressively make calls for the adoption of text to fulful these milestones, starting at the end of next week (and taking account of the Christmas period).

This message therefore requests two things.

1)	Can the authors of the following drafts ensure that your text is at the best status to make such a call. Please take into account recent discussions and review your documents, and update them if necessary. 

If you are planning a revision, then please do send a message to the WG chairs, identifying potential timescales for that revision. (It is so embarassing to make a call to adopt a particular version of the document, and find it revised 3 hours later)

2)	If anybody has alternative ideas they wish to write up to fulfil these work areas, then this is the time to do it.

If you are planning this, then a message to the WG chairs of your intention is also appropriate (along with your envisaged timescales for submission).
