<p>If you're a consortium member, and you haven't joined the <a
href="http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/Consortium/Mail/#w3c-tech">w3c-tech</A>
mailing list, please visit the <a
href="http://discuss.w3.org/cgi-bin/listadmin.pl">subscription
form</A> and do so.

<p>I'd like to start the business of the workshop ahead of time: let's
try to cover the background on the various proposals ahead of time,
and narrow the agenda down to the novel issues over the next few
weeks.

<h2>Goal</h2>

<p>The goal of the workshop is to discover and discuss the pivot
points for interoperability for mobile code systems.

<p>We will prepare a report of our findings for the memebers, edited
by Jim Miller and Dan Connolly, with contributions from workshop
participants.
