WP1/16 Experts,
As most of you probably know, every 4 years the ITU-T restructures work, removes certain work items, and introduces new study areas. These 4-year cycles are referred to as a "Study Period" and this upcoming SG16 meeting will be the final meeting for SG16 during this current Study Period.
We currently have plans to publish a new revision of H.323, H.225.0, and H.245, along with a number of Telepresence-related standards, several more H.248-related packages, etc. Some of those, unfortunately, might not be able to go forward due to missing IETF references. Nonetheless, we are aiming to have the texts related to the newest H.323 version and Telepresence documents finalized at this meeting. To that end, if there are any additions, changes, corrections, etc. you would like to see to the documents planned for Consent or approval, I encourage you to submit a contribution to this meeting to make that happen.
The list of documents I have on my list that are scheduled for Consent or Approval are:
- H.235.10 (DTLS support in H.323)
- H.323v8
- H.225.0v8
- H.245v17
- H.EMQ
- A/V Profiles for Telepresence Systems
- Telepresence Signaling
- H.248.50 (revised)
- H.248.77 (revised)
- H.248.CLOUD
- H.248.SHAPER
- H.248.SIPREC
- H.248.CodecSDPprofile
- H.Sup_Openflow
- H.Sup_ALTC
- H.241 (revised)
- H.239 Amendment 1
- Plus several documents in Q21/16 related to visual surveillance, energy management services, mobile animation file formats, personal device registration and discovery, virtual CDNs (and no doubt others I've missed)
There might be some additional cleanup work we will do in the H.323-Series Implementer's Guide, H-series supplement 4, etc.
I look forward to seeing everyone there at this final SG16 meeting for the study period.
Best Regards,
Paul E. Jones
