Re: Call for Consensus (CfC) on Adoption of the Insertable Streams API specification

Speaking just for myself (Chair Hat off), I support adoption of the Insertable Streams API as a WEBRTC WG deliverable.

I have also filed two issues:


  *   Issue 31<https://github.com/alvestrand/webrtc-media-streams/issues/31>: Interaction with congestion control
  *   Issue 32<https://github.com/alvestrand/webrtc-media-streams/issues/32>: Applicability statement

Issue 31 relates to the Virtual Reality Gaming <https://w3c.github.io/webrtc-nv-use-cases/#vr*> use case, in which metadata (which could be of considerable size) is inserted so that it can be carried along with the frame.

Issue 32 relates to the potential limitations of this API which might be described in an Applicability statement.

Subject: Call for Consensus (CfC) on Adoption of the Insertable Streams API specification

This is a Call for Consensus (CfC) to adopt "WebRTC Insertable Media Using Streams" as a WEBRTC WG deliverable.

Note that adoption as a WEBRTC WG deliverable implies only that the specification is suitable as a starting point.

The specification is located here: https://alvestrand.github.io/webrtc-media-streams/<https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Falvestrand.github.io%2Fwebrtc-media-streams%2F&data=02%7C01%7CBernard.Aboba%40microsoft.com%7C55e00358db8d437896b708d803207bf4%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C0%7C0%7C637262785339243950&sdata=XtoyK3HkkOQ1kmz1HXplhX7qNY7jukuFrWi%2BqSLAS40%3D&reserved=0>
The Github repo is here: https://github.com/alvestrand/webrtc-media-streams<https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Falvestrand%2Fwebrtc-media-streams&data=02%7C01%7CBernard.Aboba%40microsoft.com%7C55e00358db8d437896b708d803207bf4%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C0%7C0%7C637262785339243950&sdata=2dj26BWswIKzkydbNCf%2Fkcg%2FEJ0ha85xk76G5xCvNxA%3D&reserved=0>

The WebRTC-NV use cases document is available here: https://w3c.github.io/webrtc-nv-use-cases/<https://nam06.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fw3c.github.io%2Fwebrtc-nv-use-cases%2F&data=02%7C01%7CBernard.Aboba%40microsoft.com%7C55e00358db8d437896b708d803207bf4%7C72f988bf86f141af91ab2d7cd011db47%7C0%7C0%7C637262785339253894&sdata=uoiTa8gWGoN88YEj7y6R4yzqUkLsbWKwvIhxjJJDKn4%3D&reserved=0>

The CfC will last for one week, and will end on Friday, June 5, 2020 at 16:00 UTC.

In response, please state one of the following:

  *   I support publishing the Insertable Streams API draft as WEBRTC WG deliverable.
  *   I object to adopting the current Insertable Streams API draft as a WEBRTC WG work item, due to issues filed in open bug <#number>.

Note that time has been reserved at the June 4, 2020 virtual interim (see previous message) for discussion of the Insertable Streams API.


Bernard, for the Chairs
