I'm in favor of taking another run at this.

The working group has repeatedly said that an MTI codec is something we
need to produce. And its one of the issues holding up wider adoption of the
technology (not the only one for sure).

And things have changed since the last meeting, a year ago now (November in
Vancouver). Cisco's open264 plugin shipped and now just recently is
integrated into Firefox. iOS8 shipped with APIs for H264. There are other
things worth noting. Will this change the minds of everyone? Surely not.
Will it sway enough for us to achieve rough consensus? Maybe. IMHO - worth
finding out.
