<div>Dear Standards Working Group,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I would like to clarify the status of the next Standards Working Group meeting, given queries I have received recently from a couple of you. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>As it stands, no date has been set for the next Standards Working Group meeting. It will happen in April, and it will be a virtual meeting (using either VC technology or through teleconference, or a combination of both). I will shortly be sending out a
Doodle Poll for best dates for all concerned, and will be testing various VC options with some of you. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>If some of you have previously received e-mails from me with a date this week, please disregard them and I apologise for any confusion.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Regards</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Sean Gaffney</div>
