Re: [AVT] Adoption of new milestones

(As WG cochair)

For the question on adoption of milestones on:

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

In general the comments have been positive on adopting these and there was only one comment against "RTCP indication for retransmission suppression as proposed standard"

So we take this as consensus that the group is happy to work on these four deliverables.

What happens next:

1)	Roni and I will agree proposed dates next week and ask the AD to adopt the milestones.

If authors have not sent us a suggested milestone date and wish to do so, then that option is still open. In any case Roni and I will use our judgement based on the load on the working group in making a proposal.

2)	Various comments have been received as part of this process on the various related author drafts. Authors please feel free to update your documents prior to us asking to adopt drafts for these milestones. If you consider a comment requires further discussion, please feel free to open a specific thread on the avt list concentrating on that comment raised.

3)	If any AVT participant feels that an alternative proposal is worthwhile of consideration for these milestones, please feel free to submit your own author draft to cover any of these milestones.

4)	Once the milestones are set (probably in about two or so weeks), we will be looking to adopt baseline text / drafts as the working group draft to progress. So do try and complete 2) and 3) above in that timescale. If anyone believes more time is needed, then please send mail.

Keith
