There are two aspects of this that I, personally, want to see resolved
before I'm happy that we can conclude on this:
 - a story for the gateway-to-other-stuff scenarios (where other-stuff
is mostly just all-the-existing-stuff)
 - a story for conference scenarios

The first two could conclude that we need to re-encrypt at these
points, but that would require some justification.  Or we could
conclude that we need SDES, or maybe that DTLS-SRTP+EKT is the right
answer.

I'm stretching my recall capacity, but I recall promises from several
people to present on various aspects.  If those presentations cover
the ground well enough, then we can go into a discussion
well-prepared.  Time needed will then depend on the time that each
presenter needs.

If we can get to the point where the space is well-enough understood,
we should be able to conclude.  That does require a modest amount of
time for each participant to make an impassioned plea at the mic.  And
pontification takes time.

We may need to consider the alternative decision making process here.

We have scheduled the MMUSIC meetings before the RTCWeb meetings in Berlin so at some level, some of this may change after the MMUSIC meetings happen. Anyways, expect more details after we get to read all the drafts and expect us to be a bit dynamic on this given what happens in the MMUSIC meeting.

You'd best have some candidates lined up to produce some discussion
material in short order.

Thanks.  That helps.  That might be too short a time for that list.
