RE: Meeting Summary - 05 March 2007

To add to what Rhys just said, the DDWG's charter [2] limits it devices
in the sense of things users typically hold in their hand. Specifically,
from the Charter:

"For the purposes of this charter Mobile devices are Web-enabled devices
that are normally used away from fixed locations and are manufactured
specifically to be portable and usable while being moved."

However, equally the charter makes it clear that the output of the group
should be extensible for other purposes: 

"Consulting with other groups (such as those in OMA) to ensure that the
interface designs are sufficiently flexible to form the basis of
repositories outside of the mobile context (it is not within the scope
of the group's charter to ascertain non-Mobile requirements);"

So if you have specific things in mind ref proxies and gateways it would
be useful to know.

Thanks
Jo
