Dear Cullen,
I understand that there is no formal process in IETF to solve the issue of encumbrance of the codec. However, a large part of the debate about the work conducted here is related either directly or indirectly to the encumbrance of the codec. Even when it comes to testing and requirements, we have heard objections to comparing to state of the art codecs because they are encumbered. I do not have any solution to this, but my feeling is that a major part of the decision to publish a codec will be based on the level of encumbrance of the codec.

Kind regards,
/Anisse
