   This document describes a simple HTTP-based protocol that will allow
   WebRTC-based ingestion of content into streaming services and/or
   CDNs.

Working Group Summary

   The working group has reached broad agreement on this document and most points.

   A small point of controversy was if support for Trickle ICE should be optional,
   as it can lead in corner cases to problematic signaling scenarios.

   After changes based on Directorate comments were incorporated, a 2nd WGLC was
   run and comments were resolved.
