Information about the meeting, including participation registration information, had been made available at http://mpeg.tnt.uni-hannover.de/index.php.
Participants had been reminded of the need to be properly qualified to attend. Interested parties had been instructed to contact the JVT management team if they sought clarification of what proper qualification entails or if they needed help learning how to obtain such qualification.
JVT document registration and contribution archiving followed ordinary JVT practices.
Requests to register documents were handled by email to Gary Sullivan (gary.sullivan@ties.itu.int or garysull@microsoft.com).
The JVT work was suspended during plenary sessions of the ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 29/WG 11 (MPEG) parent body.
Some “break-out group” (BoG) side activities and informal study efforts were conducted during the meeting. Documents produced by break-out group activities (if any) are listed in this report with the abbreviation “BoG” and are suffixed with "-B".
Note that the JVT has agreed that no late-uploaded (non-AHG-report, non-liaison, non-verification) contribution will be presented without having a minimum of 4 non-affiliated JVT participants from different organizations recorded by name as supporting the allowance of such a presentation, in addition to a consensus of the general JVT membership to allow the presentation. Additionally, the provider of a presented late contribution must send an email apology to the JVT email reflector. Additional details on this topic are described elsewhere in this report.
