2. Compile a list of NN-based quality metrics for 2D video to be further studied and investigated, and solicit input for additional NN-based quality metrics for 2D video;
3. Study the correlation between the NN-based quality metrics and subjective test results for 2D video;
4. Continue to expand the database with 2D video data encoded with NN-based video coding methodologies; 
5. Solicit input from experts in NN video coding and quality assessment technologies.
