Hi Timothy, Thank you for putting this charter together. following the W3C message back in November 2012, I'd like to propose two additions. The objective indicates "without the need to request a license, enter into a business agreement, pay licensing fees or royalties, or attempt to adhere to other onerous conditions or restrictions" but then the Process section makes it only a preference, which is aligned with BCP 79. > The working group shall heed the preference stated in BCP 79: "In > general, IETF working groups prefer technologies with no known IPR > claims or, for technologies with claims against them, an offer of > royalty-free licensing." Although this preference cannot guarantee > that the working group will produce an unencumbered codec, the working > group should not proceed with publication of a codec RFC if there is > consensus that it cannot "be widely implemented and easily distributed > among application developers, service operators, and end users." For the last sentence, how about: [[ Although this preference cannot guarantee that the working group will produce an unencumbered codec, the working group also recognizes the request from the W3C for a royalty-free standard Web infrastructure and should not proceed with publication of a codec RFC if there is consensus that it cannot "be widely implemented and easily distributed among application developers, service operators, and end users." ]] > The working group will coordinate with the ITU-T (Study group 16) and > ISO/IEC (JTC1/SC29 WG11), with the intent of submitting the completed > codec RFC for co-publication by the ITU-T and ISO if the co-publishing > organizations find that appropriate. Looking at the list of APIs that you mention in the Process, the work is relevant to our HTML (HTML5, Media Source Extensions), Device APIs and WebRTC Working Groups. How about adding the following paragraph at the end of the collaboration section: [[ The working group will also coordinate with the W3C, in particular with the HTML, Device APIs and WebRTC Working Groups, since one of the core technical considerations is to use the resulting codec in Web APIs. ]] Also, one minor correction: s/the MediaSource API/the Media Source Extensions/ Philippe
