(1) What type of RFC is being requested (BCP, Proposed Standard,
Internet Standard, Informational, Experimental, or Historic)? Why
is this the proper type of RFC? Is this type of RFC indicated in the
title page header?
The document is being requested as a Standards Track RFC.

(2) The IESG approval announcement includes a Document Announcement
Write-Up. Please provide such a Document Announcement Write-Up. Recent
examples can be found in the "Action" announcements for approved

Technical Summary
This draft defines a new block type to augment those defined in
[RFC3611] for use in a range of RTP applications. The new block type
supports the reporting of the per-packet report metric capturing individual
packets discarded from the jitter buffer after successful reception.
Working Group Summary
There were several points of debate within the working group; however,
none were particularly rough and authors and commentators came up
with the text that resolves any issues thus consensus was achieved in
all cases.
There was a long debate on discard type for "both" (discard type indicating
a combination of different discard type). After long debate the WG
concluded to remove this ambiguous discard type and clarified how
one should report when there are multiple reasons why report packet
was discarded.
