The WebRTC IETF working group will be making a codec selection decision (VP8 vs H.264) today -- the meeting is open to participation via XMPP chat (Google Talk appears to work) and there will also be a live audio stream from the in-person room.
(WebRTC is the peer-to-peer media connection infrastructure for HTML5 which will in future enable things like Google Hangout video chats using only open standards. This has obvious potential benefits to us, so we may have an interest in how this turns out.)
Agenda: http://tools.ietf.org/wg/rtcweb/agenda?item=agenda-88-rtcweb.html
Meeting will start in about 15 minutes (21:00 UTC) and will run about two hours.
