technical forum. Its responsibility is to help facilitate the operation of the technical

since the new IPR policy was adopted in December, which calls for explicit
workgroups for each spec, no place has it been published how those WGs can be
formed and operated by community members in accordance with the IPR policy.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
