Dear Kiyoshi-san: Thank you for the decision to include DSMA in the Web-based Signage Working Group Charter. Below is a description of DSMA. Feel free to suggest changes if needed: Digital Signage Multimedia Alliance (DSMA) DSMA consists over 200 member companies dedicated to the digital signage industry, including end users, system integrators, content developers and manufacturers. DSMA is the organizer of the annual Digital Signage Asia Forum presented at the InfoComm China event. Please kindly advise if the information is appropriate.

I've received only positive (no negative) opinion for adding DSMA to External Organization for coordination. So, I think it is OK to add it. Mr. Wang, Could you provide me the text for DSMA explanation to be described in 3.2?
