I would like to take this opportunity to thank the DKUUG for allowing us to use their server. The JTC1 has recently recommended that committees and working groups consider using electronic facilities, and it is as part of our implementation of this recommendation, that I am inviting you to participate in this conference which is for informal discussion of the work of the MHEG group. I hope that you will all take full advantage of this conference to propose, discuss, question, and explain your contributions to the future MHEG and AVIS standards. Please note that this is not a replacement for the formal standards process. As long as there are accredited national body experts who do not have e-mail facilities, we will continue to maintain a full paper record, and it is this paper record which is the basis for the decisions taken at our meetings. If you wish to "speak" in the conference, send an e-mail to sc29wg12@dkuug.dk If you are replying to a previous speaker, please use the same subject as that speaker. If you are beginning a new subject, please choose a subject line which clearly identifies the subject you are addressing. If you wish to speak on two separate subjects, please send two messages. If you wish to send a test message please use the subject line "Test Message". You will notice that all the postings that you receive are numbered (SC29WG12.n) where n is the sequence number of the posting. This is provided automatically by the server. You do not have to number your postings. However you may wish to refer to a previous message "n". Please note that it is not necessary to repeat large parts of previous postings using the ">" notation favoured in the Internet newsgroups if you refer to the "n" of the previous message. If you change your e-mail address, or if you have any difficulty communicating with the dkuug server, could you please contact Roger Price price@lgevm2.vnet.ibm.com, fax +33 93 24 45 45. I hope that this electronic conference will also help to further our close relationship with SC18. Again I would like to thank the DKUUG for their generous support for the work of MHEG, and I shall begin by asking those members who have promised contributions on specific subjects for the Haifa meeting, to present their contribution in this conference. Francoise Colaitis, Convenor of JTC1/SC29/WG12 MHEG
