There was a formal press release about this on December 15, posted at: http://www.vrml.org/news/pr/pr981215-content.html The plan for what is being called "VRML Next-Generation (VRML-NG)" is currently in preparation. It will allow full participation of SC 24 experts in the Consortium processes that will prepare the specification that the Web3D Consortium again expects to transpose into an International Standard with the cooperation of SC 24. I will circulate more details about this upcoming work as soon as the plan is finalized within the Consortium.
