Good morning,

> > please find attached a liaison statement sent from SG 16. 

Reading the liaison statement, I was thinking about how a potential
cooperation with Study Group 16 might look like. I do not have a firm
opinion yet, however, at least three possibilities. Compete with SG16 as in
the case of H.323 vs SIP, let the ITU-T do the work, or work together in
some way.

Considering this high risk endeavor and the lack of experiences at the IETF
in regard of codec standardization, the last might be preferable. But then
again, what are the risks of cooperation? Will it slow down an IETF
standardization process? Will the particular requirements of the Internet be
ignored? Are there increased chances that the standardization is going to be
hindered or sabotaged? Will the travelling budget be exceeded? 
And, how the cooperation - if any - shall look like? Any opinions on that?

With best regards,

 Christian
