-<h3>Xiph.Org Supporting IETF Royalty Free Codecs BoF</h3>
-
-<p>For some years now, Xiph.Org has been gently advocating royalty
-free codecs within the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) as a
-viable and preferred alternative to patent-controlled technologies.
-Recently more groups within the IETF have also come forward to support
-free codec standardization work with in the IETF. Thanks to a formal
-proposal by Skype and the support of several parties, on July 30th at
-the next IETF Meeting (IETF 75 in
-Stockholm<a href="http://www.ietf.org/meeting/75/">[1]</a>) the IETF
-will hold a codecs BoF to take input on whether or not to form a
-standards Working Group for royalty free audio codecs. The creation
-of such a Working Group would have a major impact, opening the door to
-a Voice over IP stack completely free of licensing and royalty
-constraints. We're seeking to set up the same kind of open
-competition and cooperation we've seen on the web that's given rise to
-tons of investment and improvement in a very short period of time.
-
-<p>Giving input on the Working Group proposal does not require being
-in Sweden for the IETF meeting; Those who cannot attend in person can
-have their voice heard via the codec at jabber.ietf.org chat room or by
-posting to the codec mailing
-list<a href="https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/codec">[2]</a>. We
-encourage people to attend, comment and discuss in person, via Jabber
-and on the mailing lists as opponents of the WG proposal are expected
-to be well-organized and out in force. The important thing is to
-clearly demonstrate that there is a large number of people in favor of
-creating the new Working Group.
-
-<p>There are currently two draft submissions to be discussed at the
-BoF. The first
-draft<a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-valin-celt-codec-01">[3]</a>
-describes the new Xiph.Org CELT
-codec<a href="http://www.celt-codec.org/">[4]</a> and the second
-describes the Skype SILK
-codec<a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-vos-silk-00">[5]</a>. These
-two draft proposals complement each other nicely. There is also
-declared intent to submit the SPIRIT IPMR wideband
-codec<a href="http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/codec/current/msg00431.html">[6]</a>.
-
-<p>This Working Group proposal faces stiff opposition from current codec
-patent holders who benefit from the status quo that allows them to
-control competition from organizations whose business models cannot
-support per-channel royalties. Now is a very good time to speak up on
-this issue.
-
-<p>We hope to see you (physically or virtually) in large numbers for
-the BoF. Xiph.Org will be represented in person at the meeting by
-Christopher (Monty) Montgomery [Director] and Jean-Marc Valin [CELT
-Project Lead]. The BoF will be at 13:00 Stockholm time, with times in
-other timezones listed
-in <a href="http://tinyurl.com/stockholm-codec-bof">[7]</a>. Please
-refer to <a href="http://people.xiph.org/~jm/bof_details.html">this
-page[8]</a> for up-to-date information on the BoF.
-
-<p>(note: this effort is targeted at real-time audio codecs and
-is independent from the HTML5 effort involving Vorbis and Theora
-at the W3C)
