Overview
After the meeting of the Electronic Commerce Interest Group in Brussels
the World Wide Web Consortium's staff decided that the World Wide Web Consortium
[W3C] should follow up with detailed work on Micropayments. Apart from
the general agreement that W3C should form a Working Group to complete
a specification, there were several different proposals for the precise
nature of the work. In particular, work from DEC on Millicent, from IBM
on Minipay and from France Télécom will be taken into account,
as well as an IETF draft from Donald E. Eastlake (Cybercash). In order
to form the Working Group, clear objectives have to be laid out.
This meeting will serve to define a precise framework for what the results
of this work should be, and it will be a success if at the meeting or in
its followup a Briefing Package for a W3C Working Group emerges.
