+1 with the caveat that I think option 6 should simply state:

6. All entities MUST support a specific IPR-expired codec (to be decided 
at a later meeting) such as H.261 or Theora.

The goal remains the same. I don't think people voting for this option 
need to know up-front what the specific codec would be so long as we 
explain that we'll try to pick the best codec possible. Correct me if 
I'm wrong :)
