6. Future of the Multimedia Semantics XG

   Raphael: discussed in last telecon, meeting with Ivan Herman today
   ... W3C has problems with task members
   ... increase number of working groups, stop to make working groups
   ... working groups tend to think that best practices working groups
   are not a good idea
   ... Ivane: another XG good idea

   <raphael> ... IG is also a good idea

   Raphael: another possibility: interested group, much lighter
   charter, do not have to produce documents

   <raphael> ... but it can and the documents are endorsed by W3C

   Vassilis: if we have the change to procede to a working group, it is
   better for getting industrial partners

   <raphael> Vassilis: if we have a chance to proceed to a WG, it would
   be better to have industrial partners

   <raphael> ... even though about the IPP issues

   <raphael> ... since a WG has a much more impact

   <raphael> ... and companies would be more interested

   <raphael> ... they might think they loose their time in an XG

   <raphael> ... and people would be more motivated

   Raphael: do you have in mind some companies: Adobe, Microsoft,
   Joost, HP...

   Susanne: should find to keep interest people in formal or informal
   way

   <raphael> Erik: agrees with Vassilis, better for impact to be in a
   WG

   Erik: the more impact we can have, the more we can ensure more staff

7. AOB

   Raphael: XG will be closed in two months, worries about completing
   all the documents

   <suzmax> bye Susanne and Massimo
