	Hello Henning and all,

	I believe the idea for DAVIC (Digital Audio-Visual Council) came
from
	Leonardo Chiariglione, the current "Contact Point" of the MPEG home
page
	at http://drogo.cselt.it/mpeg/

	I'm not a member of DAVIC, so can't speak to the group's work, but
find
	their charter worth passing along to the AIC-I since there seems to
be
	some common interests:

	"The purpose of DAVIC is to favour the success of emerging digital
	audio-visual applications and services, by the timely availability
of
	internationally agreed specifications of open interfaces and
protocols
	that maximise interoperability across countries and
	applications/services. The primary instrument is production of
technical
	specifications that maximise interoperability across countries and
	applications/services..."
