1.1	H.324
Q11-M-04 The group reviewed the revised editor's draft of the H.324 I/G and agreed to the contents.  The editor was instructed to submit this document as a Rapporteur's TD to the upcoming SG16 meeting in Geneva to be held 13-17 November 2000.
1.2	H.320
Q11-M-03 The group reviewed the proposed change to H.242 and there were no objections.  This contribution will be reviewed in the joint Q.11-15 session
Q11-M-06 The group reviewed the proposed correction to H.221 and agreed that is was indeed a correction and that this information should be included in the proposed H.320 System I/G.  The editor is instructed to incorporate this change in the planned H.320 I/G and submit as a Rapporteur's TD to the upcoming SG16 meeting in Geneva to be held 13-17 November 2000.
Q11-M-05 This contribution was deferred to the joint Q.11-15 meeting
It was questioned by TTC Japan if a reference to Q.939 in Section 5.5/H.243 concerning procedure to be used when an MCU is adding additional channels is correct or should it be Q.931.  This will be researched and reviewed in the SG16 meeting in Geneva.
2.0	MOBILE DISCUSSIONS
The White document for H.324 Annex H has been submitted to TSB for publication
3.0	JOINT SESSIONS
3.1	Q.11, Q.12, Q.13, Q.14 & Q.15
Q11-M-03 (APC1893/Q15-K-14) The group supported adding this into H.245v7.  It was noted that it will also be included in the H.242 section of the proposed revised H.320 I/G which will be submitted for approval at the upcoming SG16 meeting in Geneva to be held 13-17 November 2000, assuming H.245v7 is approved at this meeting also.
Q11-M-05 (Q15-K-37) The group was appraised of the status of the work on the revised H.320 System I/G.  It was noted that further work will be performed and reviewed at the upcoming SG16 meeting in Geneva to be held 13-17 November 2000.
APC1941 Presented and deferred for further study
APC1905 Presented and it was questioned that this concept is not defining a new payload type and questioned the IETF's role in this work.
Video Coordination – A status of work in Q15 was given by Mr. Sullivan.  A new Annex containing six 'profile definitions' for typical applications is planned for determination in November 2000.  This work should simplify H.263 capability exchanges.  Appendixes containing the existing H.320 capability points will be included in the new Annex.  It was suggested that rates might better be expressed in pixels/second or macroblocks/seconds and maybe a higher HDTV performance point would be of interest.
