Gary,
 
thanks for the clarification.
 
Few remaining questions:
 
1) What does the "technical freeze" actually mean? No new technical contributions? Or only corrections on technologies, if any, if e.g. requirements are not fulfilled or editorial, typographical changes?
 
2) What is the purpose of a consent meeting in March? Will there be a "last call" immediately afterwards? Is the Mai SG Meeting planned to process the expected comments received? Or, the last call would go out only after the May meeting? In that case why the March Meeting?
 
Kind regards,
Istvan

Istvan et al,
 
The current plan is for JVT to meet in Pattaya with MPEG.  WP3 will then either be in Pattaya on or
about the 15th of March or soon thereafter elsewhere.
 
The previous plan was drafted under the expectation that we would need to deliver FDIS text in
mid-February as an interim editing output on the MPEG side.
We now plan to allow more time for editing and final technical double-check, so FDIS text is not needed
that soon.  Although technical freeze was declared last week, FDIS is not going to happen until March now
so that we can have a more mature document.  This lessens the schedule pressure on the MPEG side
somewhat.  We can benefit from that extra time by doing the same
thing on the ITU side and aligning text delivery and final technical double-check in both organizations.
This will still enable ITU-T decision no later than May, which is what it probably would have been anyway
regardless of whether we did consent somwhat earlier.
 
Best Regards,
 
-Gary

So, how then are the plans concretely?
 
On March 11-15, 2003 there is an MPEG Meeting in Pattaya. So, H.264 goes to FDIS.
But:
 
1) When and where is the JVT Meeting?
2) When and where is the WP3 Meeting?
 
Kind regards,
Istvan

Yes, we are planning for WP3 consent for H.264/AVC sometime between March 15 and March 30.
This will let us consent a better draft and coordinate better with the ISO/IEC approval process.

Dear Mr. Okubo,

Thanks.
For mid February also a one day WP3 meeting in Geneva was planned to make
"consent" for H.264. Has that also gone away?

Regards,
Istvan Sebestyen

Dear Q.D,F,G,1-5/16 experts,

The conclusion last week in Awajishima, Japan, was that Q.6/WP3 would
not meet as a whole next February. So we will meet in San Jose during
11-14 February 2003 according to 2/ below. Mr. Jones will issue the
meeting notice very soon.
