Hello everyone!

This is the second of what will be weekly update emails on the progress of the codec WG. This will include the status of work in progress as well as a reminder list for upcoming events. Comments on form / content as always more than welcome. I’m working through some ietf WG tools/password issues, hope to get this all posted up on the wiki this week...

Adoption of WG  documents
========================
draft-ietf-codec-requirements-00 was published as a WG item on March 1, 2010, but the WG chairs have decided to continue discussion on draft-valin-codec-guidelines, with the goal to publish it after further mailing list and Anaheim WG discussion.

Editor update
===========
Koen Vos has graciously volunteered to be co-editor of the codec requirements doc, joining Jean-Marc Valin in this effort.

Codec info matrix
===============
We’d like to create on our wiki a matrix of basic information about a number of codecs that might be considered as input to the WG’s efforts. Please let Peter or I know if you’d like to help volunteer with that effort.

Upcoming events
===============
