Standards groups from around the world have come together in the interests of advancing interoperability between standards. We have agreed to the following actions:

• We will respect and maximize the investment of our members by actively seeking ways to avoid duplication of efforts and overlapping development, notifying one another whenever new work is initiated.
• We will encourage our technical working groups to interact with other consortia on related efforts.
• We will communicate in an open forum on a regular basis, scheduling quarterly teleconferences to review potential overlaps.
• We will participate in regular face-to-face meetings at the Interoperability Summit.
