draft-ietf-avtcore-multi-media-rtp-session

What type of RFC is being requested (BCP, Proposed Standard, Internet Standard,
Informational, Experimental, or Historic)? Why is this the proper type of RFC?
Is this type of RFC indicated in the title page header? This document will be a
Standard track  RFC, This document specifies how an RTP session can contain RTP
Streams   with media from multiple media types such as audio, video, and text. 
It updates RF3550 and RFC3551.The type is indicated in the title page

(2) The IESG approval announcement includes a Document Announcement Write-Up.
Please provide such a Document Announcement Write-Up. Recent examples can be
found in the "Action" announcements for approved documents. The approval
announcement contains the following sections: Technical Summary: This document
specifies how an RTP session can contain RTP Streams  with media from multiple
media types such as audio, video, and text.  This has been restricted by the
RTP Specification, and thus this  document updates RFC 3550 and RFC 3551 to
enable this behavior for  applications that satisfy the applicability for using
multiple media   types in a single RTP session.

Working Group Summary:

Document Quality:
Are there existing implementations of the protocol? Have a significant number
of vendors indicated their plan to implement the specification? Are there any
reviewers that merit special mention as having done a thorough review, e.g.,
one that resulted in important changes or a conclusion that the document had no
substantive issues? If there was a MIB Doctor, Media Type or other expert
review, what was its course (briefly)? In the case of a Media Type review, on
what date was the request posted?

This document is not a protocol, this work was done based on input from RTCWEB
