Hi,

Gaining IETF consensus on making it mandatory to support only H.264 or only VP8 has clearly failed. I would welcome anyone to share their thoughts on why they believe this situation will change anytime in the next few years.  Therefore, can I suggest that we remove items 1 and 2 from the list. Hopefully this will speed up the process by focusing efforts towards gaining agreement on one of the remaining options.


The following alternatives has been proposed:
1.      All entities MUST support H.264
2.      All entities MUST support VP8
3.      All entities MUST support both H.264 and VP8
4.      Browsers MUST support both H.264 and VP8, other entities MUST support at least one of H.264 and VP8
5.      All entities MUST support at least one of H.264 and VP8
6.      All entities MUST support H.261
7.      There is no MTI video codec
8.      All entities MUST support H.261 and all entities MUST support at least one of H.264 and VP8
Regards,
Jeremy Fuller
