Hi Team,

Thank you, John Messing and Dr Paul Gerome for your kind words. Thank
you, John Larmouth for your thoughts on the future.

At our last telecon (fri. 8/29, see Minutes on our Kavi Web page),  Paul
(Thorpe), Alessandro, and I had discussed a little bit on "the next
steps": continuing technical spec. work towards OASIS XCBF 1.2 level,
users feedback on how the 1.1 standard is used in the industry, test
implementations, deployment by companies in products, press and
marketing work to broadcast and accelerate the deployment, etc. That is
just a few. Of course there are many more as well, like the topics in
John (Larmouth)'s note, and our drive to synchronize our work in light
and  in symbiosis with the works of other standard organizations.
Interfaces and complements are more useful than duplication.

At last telecon, we agreed the topic would be better discussed with more
of you calling in. So we had promised to continue the discussions at the
next XCBF telecon on Friday Sept. 12, 9AM PT (our usual time) and to try
to entice all of you to call in. So, please call in at the next telecon.
We need all the hands (and heads) of  the TC in chartering our next
course.

FYI: OASIS is working on press releases for announcement of XCBF 1.1
standard. I am helping them as being requested. So OASIS is starting the
launch campaign right now.

Best regards,
Tyky Aichelen
OASIS XML Common Biometric Format  TC Chair
