<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I am pleased to announce that the PWG
Steering Committee has demonstrated unanimous support to approve the charter
to form a new MFD (MultiFunction Device) working group. As described
in the Charter (links below) the MFD working group is the forum in which
the industry will model MFD services and their management. The results
of these modeling efforts will later be assimilated into the overall PWG
Semantic Model. The need has been demonstrated for an MFD Model and, now,
the PWG is stepping up to serve the industry by developing a standard that
will help drive consistency and interoperability across implementations
and platforms. </font>
