This completes the action unless there are queries. I will have the reply circulated as a formal SC24 document.

Also there is the rider, I guess, to see >whether there is value in our discussing increased use. So far as pure graphics standards are concerned, there is still no activity, and the situation is as it was when we spoke last. There is some prospect of future work as part of our Desktop programme, which would be built arond the work of the X-Consortium. We have an interest in the ongoing evolution of the X Window system, in particular in PEX and XIE. We may also work with some other organisations, such as the Interactive Multi-Media Association, the Work Flow Management Coalition, Black Forest Consortium and the Desktop Management Task Force. However, all of this is future.
