WebVMT Status Update

1. Progress Made
    i. Continued participation in weekly progress calls for OGC Testbed-16 FMV to Moving Features [1] task as an Observer. Updated MPEG2 Transport Stream parser which exports WebVMT map commands [2] & paths [3] from MISB [4] KLVs in MPEG2 metadata packets, and completed contribution to first draft of Engineering Report - currently available to OGC members only [5].
    ii. Demonstrated WebVMT [6] exported from MISB 0601 [7] metadata using the WebVMT.org mobile demo [8] to Testbed-16 FMV telecon on 3 September 2020 using Esri truck video [9] with Mapbox, and on 10 September to previsualise MISB 0903 [10] VTarget data for tracking analysis.
     iii. Proposed breakout discussion entitled 'video metadata for moving objects & sensors on the web’ [11] for [W3C TPAC in October 2020 [12] and raised issue https://github.com/w3c/sdw/issues/1194 to start discussion.
    iv. Participated in Responsible Use of Geospatial Data discussions on 9 & 23 September 2020 and contributed User Perspective chapter text to Editor's Draft [13].
     v. Raised WHATWG/HTML pull request [14] for 'Unbounded TextTrackCue end time' based on [previous discussion [15]. Thanks to Chris Needham for his continued support.
    vi. Presented WebVMT contribution to Testbed-16 FMV [1] task (including demo) to OGC Moving Features SWG meeting [16] on 15 September 2020, and outlined proposals for Testbed-17 follow up and TPAC breakout.

2. Next Steps
     i. Raise bug reports on web browsers for unbounded cue pull request [14] to help engage implementers.
     ii. Prepare for proposed TPAC breakout session [11] and raise WebVMT GitHub issues to guide and structure discussion, including for data sync, interpolation and moving objects.
     iii. Publish Android app on Google Play store.
     iv. Continue community outreach and identify more activities to promote progress towards the standardisation track.
