Re: [Perc] Last Call: <draft-ietf-perc-private-media-framework-08.txt> (A Solution Framework for Private Media in Privacy Enhanced RTP Conferencing) to Proposed Standard

"on the consensus not reached on this and other topics."

[BA] Out of curiosity, what other topics do you consider to be problematic
within the framework?  I am aware of at least two others where implementers
have chosen different paths than in the PERC framework:

* Order of application of encryption versus FEC/RTX/RED
* Whole frame encryption versus payload encryption

With respect to consensus, this is IETF last call, one of whose purposes is
to determine whether there is IETF consensus to publish this document as a
Proposed Standard.  Are you saying that you do not agree that there is an
IETF consensus to publish this document as a Proposed Standard?  Or that
there is no IETF consensus to publish *any* of the PERC WG output as a
Proposed Standard?
