Build on useful technologies to create collaboration services that are: sustainable, scalable, affordable.

3. 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
