Some thoughts on codec registry policy...

The following are some thoughts on registration policy.


  1.  Specification required.  This could be a reference to a specification published by an SDO, or a website (e.g. VP9).  There may be some stability requirement (e.g. a reference to a personal github may not qualify).  The specification should be available at least to the designated Expert Reviewer.
  2.  Expert review required. The expert could be one of the spec editors, or someone designated by the WG Chairs.  The idea is to designate someone to review the proposal and produce a written review with a recommendation (with the reasoning behind it), posted to the WG mailing list.
  3.  WG discussion.  The WG (and the submitter) should have the opportunity to respond to the expert review.
  4.  Consensus determination.  The WG Chairs determine whether the Expert review has consensus or not.
