Please note that there have been several liaisons between the ITU and the IETF
about that and, should a working group be formed, a collaboration between
between the two SDOs would be considered. One option that was discussed during
the last BoF (http://www.ietf.org/proceedings/09nov/minutes/codec.txt) was to
form a joint team similar to the JVT, where an MPEG WG worked with ITU SG16 on
H.264. In any case, the idea is not to replicate what the ITU is currently
doing.
