The JVET meeting was held under the chairmanship of Dr Gary Sullivan (Microsoft/USA) and Dr Jens-Rainer Ohm (RWTH Aachen/Germany). For rapid access to particular topics in this report, a subject categorization is found (with hyperlinks) in section REF _Ref502857719 \r \h 2.13 of this document. It is further noted that the unabbreviated name of JVET was formerly known as “Joint Video Exploration Team”, but the parent bodies modified it when entering the phase of formal development of a new standard. The name Versatile Video Coding (VVC) was chosen in April 2018 as the informal nickname for the new standard. The JVET meeting began at approximately 0900 hours on Tuesday 19 March 2019. Meeting sessions were held on all days (including weekend days) until the meeting was closed at approximately XXXX hours on Wednesday 27 March 2019. Approximately XXX people attended the JVET meeting, and approximately XXXqq input documents and 19 AHG reports were discussed. The meeting took place in a collocated fashion with a meeting of ITU-T SG16 – one of the two parent bodies of the JVET. The subject matter of the JVET meeting activities consisted of developing video coding technology with a compression capability that significantly exceeds that of the current HEVC standard, or otherwise gives better support regarding the requirements of future application domains of video coding. As a primary goal, the JVET meeting reviewed the work that was performed in the interim period since the thirteenth JVET meeting in producing a fourth draft of the VVC standard and the fourth version of the associated VVC test model (VTM). Further important goals were reviewing the results of 13 Core Experiments (CE), reviewing other technical input on novel aspects of video coding technology, and producing the next versions of the VVC draft text and VTM, and plan next steps for further investigation of candidate technology towards the formal standard development. The JVET produced 18 output documents from the meeting (update): JVET-M1001 Versatile Video Coding specification text (Draft 4) JVET-M1002 Algorithm description for Versatile Video Coding and Test Model 4 (VTM 4) JVET-M1004 Algorithm descriptions of projection format conversion and video quality metrics in 360Lib (Version 9) JVET-M1006 Methodology and reporting template for coding tool testing and for neural network tool testing JVET-M1010, JVET-L1011, and JVET-L1012 JVET common test conditions and software reference configurations for SDR, HDR/WCG, and 360° video JVET-M1021 through JVET-M1033, Description of Core Experiments 1 through 13 For the organization and planning of its future work, the JVET established XX “ad hoc groups” (AHGs) to progress the work on particular subject areas. At this meeting, XX Core Experiments (CE) were defined. The next four JVET meetings were planned for 3–12 July 2019 under WG 11 auspices in Gothenburg, SE, during 1–9 October 2019 under ITU-T SG16 auspices in Geneva, CH, during 8–17 January 2020 under WG 11 auspices in Brussels, BE, and d
