<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Hello Everyone,<br>
<br>
The HEART WG site is finally in operation and our mail list server is actively running at
<a href="http://lists.openid.net/mailman/listinfo/openid-specs-heart" data-mce-href="http://lists.openid.net/mailman/listinfo/openid-specs-heart">
http://lists.openid.net/mailman/listinfo/openid-specs-heart</a>. If you have not already done so, please take the time to register. We would prefer to use that list as the primary source of communication.<br>
<br>
Given the slowness and distractions of the holiday season, we have decided to move the initial meeting from January 5th to **UPDATE*** Monday January 12th.
<br>
<br>
<span style="color:black">As noted on the site, a</span><span style="color:black">nyone can join the mailing list as a read-only recipient and attend the meetings but</span> posting to the mailing list and/or actively contributing to the specification will
require the submission of an IPR Agreement. Thanks to those of you that have completed that process. I know there are others that have the approvals in the works.<br>
<br>
<span style="color:black">We very much welcome and encourage the active participation of both technical and policy subject matter experts to the group. The initial work will focus on identifying/scoping/framing relevant use cases rather than delving into the
technical details. </span><span style="color:black">Do not worry if you are not familiar with the protocols. I am certain our collective understanding will change as the conversation and work evolves.
</span><br>
<br>
We look forward to getting things started and hope to *see* most of you there on the 12th!<br>
<br>
Best Regards<br>
<br>
Eve Maler and Debbie Bucci<br>
