[M4IF Discuss] Discussions started

[Rob Koenen]

People,
The discussions on this list will start shortly. The subscription 
response has been huge, which is a sign that there is a large and 
growing interest in MPEG-4 deployment. 
After this mail, I will "turn loose" the other mails that have been 
waiting to get sent out since last Friday.
This is an open list, accessible to members and non-members of 
M4IF alike. I look forward to an open-minded discussion on all issues 
regarding the uptake of MPEG-4 in the market. I look forward to 
participation of *ALL* parties affected. I look forward to these 
discussions benefiting the uptake of MPEG-4. 
Let's have the facts, discuss the consequences and have an open-minded
discussion. Let's refrain from abusive or insulting language.
The mailing list is non-moderated at the moment, and I hope and 
expect we can keep it that way. We do reserve the right to moderate 
the list if messages appear that the Board of M4IF deems inappropriate.
Best Regards,
Rob Koenen
President, M4IF
