DVI Vision of the Commons Jonathan: Right now WAVE3 is the only Vendor listed as such on this slide…are we in danger of not mentioning our current partners, Polycom and Radvision by lising Wave3 as an independent technology? What about ConferenceXP for instance? Wave3 could fit under SIP and also under Collaboration Tools……I vote for its (Wave3’s) removal, with a verbal mention. john k2: I added “Application Sharing” simply because we needed a longer red bar to fit “Collaboration Tools” horizontally john k2: Presence, IM Whiteboard DVI Vision of the Commons Data Sharing The Internet2 Commons Middleware Application Sharing H.323… Collaboration Tools SIP Voice over IP Voice & Videoconferencing Tools VRVS AG MPEG2 DVTS, HD
