<p class="MsoNormal">If one from HP (member of initial board of UE Consortium) would be free to talk about UE plans and directions, that would be even better.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">In any case I think we shall develop a position regarding UEC rather soon. SC23 is a good chance to talk in person with those folks, they seem to be next booth, so might be good if we are prepared.<o:p></o:p></p>
