Summary of 31 October 2003 HTML PAG teleconference

Hello,

Nine people attended the 31 October 2003 HTML Patent Advisory Group
(PAG) teleconference. First the group approved past meeting minutes and
reviewed reactions to the W3C briefing [1], filing [2] and letter [3].
The Chair suggested possible next steps for the PAG and asked for other
suggestions:

   *  Wait to see if the USPTO takes action.
   *  Gather and analyze other prior art.
   *  Invite Eolas to come to one of these meetings.
   *  Determine what would need to change in W3C specifications to make
      compliance with them not require a license.

The group decided that assembling prior art from the public-web-plugins
mailing list [4] is the next step and the Chair took an action item to
compile it. The HTML PAG meets next on 7 November.
