Management, CEN/ISSS Report"
Importance: High

Dear All,

I am pleased to circulate the programme of the CEN/ISSS Open Meeting on 
"Digital Rights Management, CEN/ISSS Report”, to be held on the 7th 
February 2003 at the Diamant Business and Conference Centre, Bld. 
Auguste Reyers 80.B – 1030 Brussels.

Digital Rights Management is a complex area from a technology point of
view, and recent or current standardization activities have involved
many major sectors, including content providers (publishers,
broadcasters, film, etc.) hardware and software providers, etc., in many
different standards groups, including both formal standards bodies and
business consortia.  CEN/ISSS formed an open Focus Group, with the
objective to prepare a report on the state of the art in standardization
of digital rights from different perspectives, and this Group, which has
over 100 companies and organizations represented, is now finalizing the
first draft of its report.

The draft report will be made available around the end of January and
placed on the web for public comment.  It will be presented to the Open
Meeting, whose main objective is to consider the draft and identify
further issues.  Following the Open Meeting and public comments, the
CEN/ISSS DRM Group will finalise the report and publish it, also
submitting it to the European Commission, whose request prompted the
creation of this activity.

The meeting will therefore interest a wide range of participants, and
early registration is recommended.  If you would like to register,
please send the attached registration form to Ariana Zeuuw-Mina
(Ariana.zeeuw@cenorm.be <mailto:Ariana.zeeuw@cenorm.be>) by 3 February
2003 at the very latest.

A copy of the programme is also published on CEN web-site at:
