Dear Colleagues It has been challenging to absorb all the excellent ideas and inputs aiming to reach consensus around one of the two proposed options as there are valid considerations for each. A degree of compromise is encouraged with recognition of the extensive current and future deployment of AMR and AMR-WB as well as the need for interoperability with new audio codecs and minimization of transcoding. As such, Verizon endorses the e-mail by Magnus and supports option 1.

I see the following important reasons for creating a RECOMMENDED category: 1. interoperability without quality degradations due to transcoding with large installed legacy and existing services. Typical examples are interconnection cases to major mobile or fixed communication systems. Clearly interop with 3GPP voice services and HD Voice in 3GPP and fixed networks is very important. The option with transcoding should be avoided as - besides the equipment costs - it is affecting the communication quality in terms of more coding distortions and delay. 2. take advantage of deep codec specific integrations/optimizations. Typical examples are interconnection cases to major mobile systems which bearers are highly optimized for a given codec specified for these systems. For these systems operating with their 'native' codecs is beneficial not only in terms of system capacity and efficiency but also from end-user perspective as it will allow least battery consumption in the mobile devices (due to that hardware implementations for the codecs are often used) and provide best robustness/coverage. At least interop to such native codecs in 3GPP mobile networks is essential. This point partly overlaps with the previous but also covers cases where new codecs will get a deep system integration. The alternative with transcoding in a GW should be avoided for the reasons given above (avoiding extra distortions and delay). 3. future-proofness of specifications allowing to recommend new codecs that turn out to be better/more efficient than existing mandatory codecs. As history has proven, even the best mandatory codec has a best-before date. We should foresee the possibility to at least recommend such a better codec at some stage when felt appropriate. At the same time, when creating a RECOMMENDED category, I think that it should be strictly limited to very few codecs only. At present I see a reasonable limit of 3 recommended codecs related to particular interop scenarios. However, this number could be increased if new and better codecs are deemed would in the future enter this category. So, my vote goes for option 1.
