Re: [Cellar] IETF current milestones: request for feedback

RE:

Jul 2017 Submit specification for FFV1 video codec version 4 to
IESG (Standards Track)
Sep 2017 Submit specification for Matroska container format version 4
to IESG (Standards Track)
Mar 2017 Submit informational specification for FFV1 video codec versions
0, 1 and 3 to IESG for publication
Mar 2017 Submit specification for EBML to IESG (Standards Track)
May 2017 Submit informational specification for Matroska container
format versions 1, 2 and 3 to IESG for publication

If these seem like reasonable dates to contributors, I will move to update
milestones.

RE: FLAC, backburner IMO until other milestones are on track.  If there are
folks who only want to work on FLAC and who are not actively working on
other specs, I would ask them to speak up here to organize.  I know there
were some efforts a while ago, but I am not personally aware of any
progress.
