[BA] IETF WG Chairs have the ability to avoid revisiting previously settled issues (e.g. Audio codecs) or unsettled ones (e.g. Video codecs).  

BTW, I've had difficulty verifying the assertion that "AMR codecs are accessible via the hardware without additional fees". There may be an SDK available, but my understanding is that this requires a licensing fee above and beyond the fee required to license AMR codecs in Voice over LTE. In other words, not only is the codec royalty bearing, but access to it for a purpose other than VoLTE requires additional licensing fees.  If this is wrong, please point me to the web page for the appropriate license-free SDKs.
