[MPEG-OTSPEC] OFF: SC29 and SC34 (was "Re: Updates to specification")

[David Singer]

Yes, the SC29 secretariat is a good source.

Basically, WG11 was considered over-size for a WG by ISO, and has re-organized with its sub-working-groups becoming WGs. It’s really not much of a deal at all. Life continues much as before, except that the convenor of WG11 decided to resign/retire, and the term of office of the SC29 chair is also about to come up.
