***VRML Consortium: Status
by David Lohse

The VRML Consortium, which was proposed at SIGGRAPH 96 and is the focus of
much attention in the VRML community, is currently in the planning stages by
a working group comprised of core members of the VRML community. According to
Gavin Bell of SGI, the working group is "putting together a proposal with
recommendations on:

-- a charter for the consortium
-- structure of the organization
-- a timetable and specific to-do items for how to proceed"

The offical proposal is due out in the next couple of weeks, and according to
Mark Pesce, VRML evangelist, "We have a good chance at getting it up and
running(in a real rather than theoretical sense) within the next 60 days or
so." The proposal will be posted to the www-vrml mailing list as soon as it
becomes available, as well as to the VAG's Web site.
