is at least some reasonable odds it might take more than one or two
meetings to resolve this if we end up in an alternative consensus process.

What's the Microsoft camp? This far I can see a VP8/9 camp and a H.264/5
camp and both camps have their reasons for making the respective choice. I
think at this stage it's a religious discussion and not one likely to be
resolved until a completely new and clearly superior codec in all discussed
dimensions comes along. Is there really a point to spend more time
discussing now?

(BTW: I won't be at the meeting, so feel free to waste your time. Just
