<DIV><SPAN class=645592507-18122002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

<DIV><SPAN class=645592507-18122002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=645592507-18122002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>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?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=645592507-18122002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=645592507-18122002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>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?</FONT> <FONT face=Arial
color=#0000ff size=2>Or, the last call would go out only after the May meeting?
In that case why the March Meeting?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=645592507-18122002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

<DIV><SPAN class=747502710-17122002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The
current plan is for JVT to meet in Pattaya with MPEG. WP3 will then
either be in Pattaya on or</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=747502710-17122002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

elsewhere.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=747502710-17122002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The
previous plan was drafted under the expectation that we would need to deliver
FDIS text in</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=747502710-17122002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>mid-February as an interim editing output on the MPEG
side.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=747502710-17122002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>We
now plan to allow more time for editing and final technical double-check, so
FDIS text is not needed</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=747502710-17122002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>that
soon. Although technical freeze was declared last week, FDIS is not
going to happen until March now</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=747502710-17122002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>so
that we can have a more mature document. This lessens the schedule
pressure on the MPEG side</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=747502710-17122002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>somewhat. We can benefit from that extra time by doing the
same</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=747502710-17122002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

class=747502710-17122002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>text delivery
and final technical double-check in both organizations.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=747502710-17122002><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>This
will still enable ITU-T decision no later than May, which is what it probably
would have been anyway</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
