WebRTC Standards Update

WebRTC is being standardized at W3C and IETF each taking care of standardization work based on its charter. W3C – Client side APIs – Required so developers will be have a common interface for writing applications that can run on all browsers. IETF – On the wire protocols, states and events – In practice this means all the media stuff as well as requirements for the APIs provided to the W3C. Signaling was left out on purpose.

Since standardization is work in progress and actual implementations are impacted by what Google is releasing in the WebRTC code it is instrumental for everyone involved with WebRTC technically to be updated on the standardization progress, plans and decisions made.
