=======================
Supercharged Codes - Stephanie Pereira
   - draft-stauffer-rmt-bb-fec-supercharged-00

Stephanie Pereira provided an overview of the recently submitted draft FEC coding scheme regarding Supercharged Codes.  Kevin Fall commented that the document needs to better follow IETF terminology.  Brian Adamson commented he will read document and help provide feedback for the document to better fit RMT conventions.  One issue of note is that as the RMT WG goes into closure or hiatus, this document may be handled (with RMT principals' help) in the Transport working group.  Additionally, since the authors are new to the IETF, it was suggested that an internal Broadcomm (the authors' employer) discussion regarding the IPR status of the document be held and if there are any IPR declarations to be made, those should be done as soon as possible.


=======================
Extended FEC Schemes - Vincent Roca
	- draft-roca-rmt-extended-fec-problem-00

Vincent Roca presented an overview of a draft submitted just prior to the meeting that attempts to outline and consolidate the areas that were addressed in the UOD and GOE documents discussed at prior meetings.

This was followed with an open discussion regarding the future / next steps for RMT.  There was consensus that a BoF activity might be better to re-energize activity in the areas that RMT has continued, but low level, activity.  This includes the additional application of Packet-based Forward Error Correction and Erasure coding in areas of unicast as well as multicast transport.
