| MPEG
is not like other standards committees where the development work
is done outside and the role of the committee is simply managing
the formal process of standards approval. The actual development
takes place in the committee itself where the different technical
submissions are reviewed by the committee and work is assigned
to members for the next meeting. This allows MPEG to attract the
best expertise in its fields and to produce the technically most
advanced standards.
As
a result of this working method MPEG manages some 500 documents
at each meeting. About 300 are input documents from members
and about 200 are output documents produced by the committee.
These
documents are restricted to MPEG memebers. From time to time,
however, MPEG decides to post publicly some of its output documents.
These are typically calls for proposals, general descriptions
of standards, approved or under development, the text of standards
under ballot etc. As a rule standards in final form are not
posted here. They can be purchased from sales@iso.ch.
