Technical Summary

Working Group Summary

There is broad working group consensus on the document contents, with no notable exceptions. The working group deliberated on whether to publish this as an RFC or keep as a living document during codec candidate development. The deciding factors were the requirements had become stable, and other consortiums (Alliance for Open Media) were also using this document for their codec development activities.

Document Quality

There have been several reviews of this document from several working group participants, as well as external review from other consortiums (Alliance for Open Media). Andrey Norkin, who also participates in AOM, became a co-author to maintain alignment between working group review and external (AOM) review. The first WGLC had extensive review comments, resulting in Andrey becoming a co-author. The last WGLC had no comments, as the document is mature and stable.
