The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Media Resource Control Protocol Version 2 (MRCPv2)' (draft-ietf-speechsc-mrcpv2-28.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Speech Services Control Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Robert Sparks and Gonzalo Camarillo. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-speechsc-mrcpv2/ Technical Summary The MRCPv2 protocol allows client hosts to control media service resources such as speech synthesizers, recognizers, verifiers and identifiers residing in servers on the network. MRCPv2 is not a "stand-alone" protocol - it relies on a session management protocol such as the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) to establish the MRCPv2 control session between the client and the server, and for rendezvous and capability discovery. It also depends on SIP and SDP to establish the media sessions and associated parameters between the media source or sink and the media server. Once this is done, the MRCPv2 protocol exchange operates over the control session established above, allowing the client to control the media processing resources on the speech resource server. Working Group Summary Nothing out of the ordinary happened in the WG to note. Document Quality There are over 20 interoperable implementations of clients, servers, open source, and APIs based on this document. Personnel Eric Burger is the document shepherd. Robert Sparks is the responsible AD
