DAVIC Call for Proposals for IP based Networks, Storage in the Home, and Content Contribution Systems.

Dear DAVIC Members,

As those of you who were at the Monterey Meeting will be aware, great progress was made in agreeing the 11th Call for Proposals for DAVIC, the responses to which will be considered at the next DAVIC meeting on March 9-13 in Milan, Italy.

This CFP represents a very important stage in our development of the DAVIC Specifications. DAVIC has a unique opportunity to contibute to the whole systems design of emerging services based on IP networks and local or distributed mass storage systems in a way that no other organisation in the world currently can.

Please make known the importance of this opportunity in all relevant areas of your company, and be sure to respond in good time for the very important meeting in Milan. The results of this work will be published in December 1998. You only have until February 13th to inform Nicola Bellina of your intention to respond and until February 28 to work out the detail of your company's response.

I wish a Happy New Year to you all. Let us make this the big year for DAVIC !

Regards Hiroshi Yasuda 14 January 1998
