See below. The release can be found on the business wire, here: http://www.businesswire.com/cgi-bin/f_headline.cgi?bw.070803/231895538 The release is also on our website: http://www.mpegif.org/public/documents/vault/mp-out-30049.php Best Regards, Rob Koenen ---------------------------------------------------------- MPEG Industry Forum to Promote All Emerging MPEG Standards Business Editors/High-Tech Writers SAN RAMON, Calif. & GENEVA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 8, 2003-- MPEG-4 Industry Forum (M4IF) Expands Scope to Include MPEG-7 and MPEG-21 and Changes Its Name to MPEG Industry Forum (MPEGIF) At its Annual Meeting in Montreal on 27 June, the MPEG-4 Industry Forum (M4IF), an industry-based MPEG standards advocacy group, unanimously approved expanding its scope to include the promotion of the MPEG-7 and MPEG-21 standards. Starting on July 1st, the first day of the Forum's new membership year, M4IF's official name is "MPEG Industry Forum" (MPEGIF). The Forum will continue the M4IF name, website and logo for its MPEG-4 activities. MPEG-7 and MPEG-21 community members helped prepare the necessary changes to MPEGIF's Statutes. MPEGIF's goal has been updated to read: "To further the adoption of MPEG Standards, by establishing them as well accepted and widely used standards among creators of content, developers, manufacturers, providers of services, and end users." Building on M4IF's success as a focal point for MPEG-4 developments and information, the decision to expand its scope came from the membership's desire for a single, strong organization to educate industry on the benefits and synergies of the MPEG standards. MPEG-7 and MPEG-21 are complementary to MPEG-4 and MPEG-2, not their successors. MPEGIF decided to maintain the same $3,000 USD annual fee ($300 USD for not-for-profits) for all of its members, regardless of their area of interest, and now accepts membership applications from companies and organizations working on MPEG-7 and MPEG-21. MPEGIF will expand its current marketing efforts to reflect its new scope. MPEG-4 will remain the primary focus of most members, and the Forum will continue to market the M4IF brand name and the MP4 logo. MPEGIF is building MPEG-7 and MPEG-21 web presence modelled after the popular www.m4if.org website. The 4th "Workshop and Exhibition on MPEG-4" (WEMP) is scheduled for Spring 2004 in Europe, under the working title "Workshop and Exhibition on Emerging MPEG Technologies." Like MPEGIF, its expanded focus will cover the emerging MPEG-7 and MPEG-21 standards, as well as the new Advanced Video Coding standard (AVC, also known as H.264 and MPEG-4 AVC). "I am excited that, with our expansion, we have fulfilled the wish expressed by our membership and industry over a year ago," said MPEGIF President Rob Koenen. "Our constituency strongly believes in the MPEG standards which, together with other open international standards, provide highly valued interoperability to end-users and industry." About MPEGIF MPEGIF represents almost 100 companies from diverse industries evenly distributed across North America, Europe and Asia, addressing MPEG adoption issues that go beyond the charter of ISO/IEC MPEG. Activities of the forum include marketing, a comprehensive MPEG-4 interoperability program (including AVC), logo certification, presence at trade shows, several working groups and an annual conference. For more information visit: http://www.mpegif.org. About MPEG-4 MPEG-4 is the interactive coding standard for all digital multimedia platforms. Developed by the "Moving Picture Experts Group" that designed MPEG-2 (the digital television standard), MPEG-1 and MP3. Object-based and extending beyond video and audio, MPEG-4 supports rich, interactive, standards-based multimedia from low bandwidths to transparent quality. About MPEG-7 MPEG-7 is a recently finalized MPEG standard for description of multimedia content. It will be used for indexing, cataloging, advanced search tools, program selection, smart reasoning about content and more. The standard comprises syntax and semantics of multimedia descriptors and descriptor schemes. MPEG-7 is an important standard because it allows the management, search and retrieval of ever-growing amounts of content locally stored, on-line and in broadcasts. About MPEG-21 MPEG-21 is an emerging MPEG standard describing how different elements to build an infrastructure for the delivery and consumption of multimedia content -- existing or under development -- work together. MPEG-21 addresses management of and access to content. MPEG-21 includes a universal declaration of multimedia content, tools facilitating the dynamic adaptation of content to the delivery network and to consumption devices and conditions, and various tools for making Digital Rights Management more interoperable. --30--PW/sf* CONTACT: MPEGIF Martin Jacklin, +41 (79) 291 1882 (Media, Switzerland) martin.jacklin@m4if.org Paul Ritchie, 925/275-6654 (Executive Director, USA) paul.ritchie@m4if.org KEYWORD: CALIFORNIA INDUSTRY KEYWORD: SOFTWARE E-COMMERCE INTERNET ELECTRONIC GAMES/MULTIMEDIA SOURCE: MPEG Industry Forum tel. +1 408 855 6891 gsm. +1 408 823 7512 From rob.koenen mpegif.org Mon Jul 14 00:20:08 2003 From: rob.koenen mpegif.org (Rob Koenen (MPEGIF)) Date: Wed Jul 23 13:58:55 2003 Subject: [MPEGIF News] MPEGIF News Digest week 26 Message-ID: Digest shortly available online here: http://www.m4if.org/public/documents/vault/m4if-digest-30026.php 13 July 2023 - MPEGIF News Digest week 26, 2003 MPEGIF News Readers, Digest form two weeks ago.

With unanimous member support, M4IF decided to expand its focus to other MPEG upcoming standards, MPEG-7 and MPEG-21. You may have seen our press release. This change is effective immediately, and the Forum, now called MPEG Industry Forum ( MPEGIF) is accepting membership applications from companies that want to see MPEG-7 and MPEG-21 universally adopted. In the short term, MPEG-4 will remain the focus of a large part of our membership. We will keep using the M4IF name, domain name and logo, next to the new domain name. Members with MPEG-7 and MPEG-21 interests have started to develop specific activities to promote those standards. It is good to see that many members are actually seeking to use these standard in combination. In our trade shows and other activities, we will take an integrative approach in showing what the standards mean for the interoperable deployment of multimedia content and services. Another innovation is a new category of Associate Membership: Personal Membership. Many people who want to support MPEG standards have requested us to join the Forum as individuals, but up until now, our Statutes only allowed organizations to join. MPEGIF's Board is now working out the the details which will be announced later, but this much is known already: * We are trying this out for one year, and will then evaluate if it is worthwhile continuing * Membership is open to individuals who 1) actively support the Forum's goals; 2) are not a member of a large company (these should really join as a company) * Each membership is subject to approval by the Membership and Nomination Committee (like all memberships) * The membership fee is 300 USD per year * Membership is for a year without automatic renewal, but individuals who want to continue their membership can do so by simply paying the yearly fee. Meantime, MPEGIF recently signed up ESS Technology, Digital Content Industry Promotion Office, Taiwan, DirecTV and AIPTEK as new Forum members. More new members are in the pipeline, not just because of the expansion in focus, but notably also because the enormous interest in the new Advanced Video Coding standard.

We have just completed the move from @lists.m4if.org to @lists.mpegif.org This applies to both our public mailing and our member-only mailing lists. There are three reasons for doing this: 1. M4IF has become MPEGIF 2. The list names are too popular among spammers (even though you don't notice this because we have effective filtering, but the administrators certainly do know). 3. On the new domain, we have an archiving system that allows us to hide the sender's email address, which should mean less spam and more protection for you as participant. What has just happened is the following: * All lists (member-only and public) are now at lists.mpegif.org * All subscriptions have been carried over to the new lists --> You do NOT NEED TO RE-SUBSCRIBE! * Technotes has been renamed to MP4-Tech@..., in anticipation of similar MPEG-7 and MPEG-21 related lists; * News@... and Discuss@... are now for MPEG-4, MPEG-7 and MPEG-21 discussions and news; * Postings to the old lists will be forwarded to the new ones for a limited time. Please use the new addresses from now on. Let me and Peter (CC) know in a private mail If you have any questions. Kind Regards, Rob Koenen tel. +1 408 855 6891 gsm. +1 408 823 7512
