"Sample extension design" xi. "Standards Universe" - MPEG constellation - OASIS constellation - tie between the two * ContentGuard proposed extension model MPEG * not official! * mpeg will need to decide on process for supporting their domain; realize that they can't be stand-along * incumbent upon RLTC to formalize liase w/ MPEG & propose RLTC core governance model to MPEG (benefits) - Discussion of ISO Class-A fast-track: only some (3) OASIS TC's have actual "fast-track status" - Q: Constraints upon RLTC core? evolutionary model? - Q: XACML f.
