Sasha,
I noted a couple of mistakes, so I'll try to fix those with the upcoming submission. We'll iron out any others at the meeting, though hopefully they are all just syntactical issues.
As for the content going forward, this can definitely be expanded. You might recall, the intent several years ago was to describe more generally communication over error prone channels. The content was narrowed substantially, but the scope of the document was not. So, it is reasonable to expand this document as it makes sense in order to describe how to communicate over error prone channels.
That does raise a question: do we structure the document now to allow for other material, or do we re-structure sections later as new material is added? My preference would be that, given how short this text is, we restructure the text in the future if we do add additional content and leave the current, simple structure in place. But, I welcome your comments on that.
Paul

Hi Paul,
I want to mention that one area which requires attention in this document is ASN.1 syntax.
It does have quite a few syntactical mistakes.
Now, probably not for this meeting, I wonder what is the real scope of this document.
Should it cover for example non-parity types of FEC, such as Reed-Solomon?
Should it allow using H.323 with fecframe (IETF newest framework for FEC)?
Regards,
Sasha

Q2 Experts,
Please review the text for H.323 Annex I:
http://ftp3.itu.int/av-arch/avc-site/2009-2012/0906_Gen/AVD-3752.zip
This document did not get sufficient review at the last Rapporteur meeting, but I would nonetheless like to consent this text at the upcoming meeting.
Annex I was substantially re-written, but it is relatively short and the focus of the document is not changed: it defines the signaling procedures necessary to implement FEC as defined in IETF RFC 5103, which obsoletes the former FEC method detailed in RFC 2733. Going forward, the intent would be that if we want to document anywhere how H.323 devices ought to behave in order to overcome issues with error-prone channels, we might add additional material to this annex (perhaps even restructuring it if necessary).
In any case, I would kindly like to request that you review this document. I will make an effort to re-submit it to this meeting unchanged as it appear here. However, if you have any comments on the text, let me know this week or early next week and I'll try to make revisions and share those with the Experts before I submit the text.
Of course, you are definitely welcome to submit a contribution related to this text for review at the meeting.
Paul
