Thomas, Ghyslain, others,

(filling in some details in the excellent summary from Ghyslain)

That is excellent, I hope we can then get discussions going on
this draft, and the intent would then be to turn this document
into the envisioned WG draft.

Ghyslain, for alignment with the WG draft name, which will be:
   draft-ietf-rohc-rfc3095bis-profiles-00.txt,
please name the upcoming initial individual draft similarily:
   draft-pelletier-rohc-rfc3095bis-profiles-00.txt

Well, the improvements draft has been discussed point-by-point
before it even became a separate draft (discussions were 
carried out while it was part of draft-ietf-rohc-rtp-impl-guide),
establishing consensus for all items. However, I believe it is
reasonable to believe some people may have additional ideas to
bring for v2, and such ideas should then be brought to the mail
list. If not, the improvements  draft as it currently looks is
what consitutes the technical direction for the profiles draft.

A meeting slot will be requested!
