<p class="MsoNormal">Formally, SC29 doesn’t have any approved project for working on a new format, and so technical discussion of any new format is not formally in scope for the AHG. In terms of formal SC29 process, technical activity on new formats would need
to be preceded by approval of a New Work Item Proposal (NWIP) by SC29. A NWIP is primarily about business goals and project plan. Now discussion on preparing a NWIP could certainly potentially happen here (I don’t think the scope given to the AHG by SC29/WGx
precludes that). </p></div></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>That all makes sense; but I was under the impression that the AHG has an extremely wide remit to discuss any relevant topics. </div><div><br></div><div>Vlad, what is needed to get the ball rolling on such a NWIP?
