Re: [codec] WG Review: Internet Wideband Audio Codec (codec)

2010-01-12 10:23:25
Hello,

o Xavier Marjou [01/11/2010 09:18 PM]:
Requirements established first in stage 1 shall be sent for stage 2 to
other SDOs as stated in the current version of the Charter:

" The working group will communicate detailed description of the
requirements and goals to other SDOs including the ITU-T, 3GPP, and
MPEG to help determine if existing codecs meet the requirements
"(however in the current version of the Charter, it is inconsistent to
state first that the goal of the WG is to develop of a new codec and
to state some lines after that existing codecs will be considered...)

Based on the answers collected from these SDOs, conclusion for stage 2
shall be delivered and constitute the input and prerequisit for any
decision to continue in stage 3 to produce a new codec and re-Charter
the Group for this

until now other SDOs have failed to produce a widely distributed good quality wideband and full-band codec that would be suitable for the Internet - especially one that is easily distributable - even though the necessary technology has been available for a long time. Further, nothing has substantially changed lately to make it likely that other SDOs are now suddenly willing to or capable of doing that.

The proposal to make IETF CODEC development depend on other SDOs is thus not a constructive one and should not be followed.

Best Regards
Stefan Sayer
