[EMOXG] Emotion Markup Language Incubator Group starting again: Membership issues

Dear all,

it took a while, but finally the emotion incubator group is coming to 
life again, and is going for a second year of activities. Our main aim 
this year will be to:

*  prioritise the requirements in view of applicability and transparency;
* formulate a specification draft for an Emotion Markup Language;
* illustrate how to combine the Emotion Markup Language with existing 
markup languages.

You are welcome to participate; here is how.

1. W3C members
==============

Some W3C groups have acted as "sponsors" for this new incubator group; 
still, they need to formally joing the group. Only your AC 
representative can do that -- make them go to:
http://www.w3.org/2004/01/pp-impl/39402/join

Groups who have already joined
------------------------------

Deutsche Telekom AG, T-Com (Felix Burkhardt)
Image, Video and Multimedia Systems Lab (IVML-NTUA) (Kostas Karpouzis)

Groups who have shown interest but who have not yet formally joined
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Loquendo, S.p.A. (Paolo Baggia, Enrico Zovato)
Chinese Academy of Sciences (Jianhua Tao)
SRI International (Bill Jarrolds)
Fraunhofer Gesellschaft (Christian Peter)

Other groups are of course also invited to join; if they are not listed, 
it only means I am not aware of their interest at this stage.


2. Invited experts
==================

If your institution is not a W3C member, you can still participate in 
the group as an "invited expert".

Here is the list of people who I believe have explicitly told me they 
would like to continue their work or join:

Björn Schuller, TUM
Catherine Pelachaud, Paris8
Dylan Evans
Eva Oliveira
Hannes Pirker, OFAI
Idoia Zearreta, EHU
Jean-Claude Martin, LIMSI
Laurence Devillers, LIMSI
Myriam Lamolle, Paris8

Is your name missing from the list? If so, I'm sorry, please get in 
touch! I will send a "consolidated" list of "experts to invite" to W3C 
staff, who will then hopefully contact you about the formalities.


Best regards,
Marc



PS: If anyone would like to unsubscribe from this list, that is of 
course possible at any time -- see the link called "unsubscribe" on
