Establishment of an International Organization for XML

At Balisage 2026, more than a dozen participants resolved to sponsor
a public meeting, to create a working group whose purpose is to
establish an international organization whose core mission is **to protect,
promote, and advance Extensible Markup Language (XML) and
related technologies, and to cultivate a diverse and
international community of practitioners**.

**Invitees**: Anyone interested in the establishment of an international
organization for XML is welcome to attend, join the
e-mail listserv, and participate in the inaugural meeting of the working
group.

Discussion is taking place at IOXML-L@LISTS.PSU.EDU. Join us!

On behalf of the sponsors,
