[x3d-public] 2022 X3D Working Group goals and X3D Graphics Standards Relationships diagram, no meeting 8 July 2022

[John Carlson]

Very good, Don.   Good to hear about the Metaverse Standards Forum.   May I
suggest a conference of vendors be created after the spirit of InterOp,
perhaps “MetaOp” if Meta allows it.

If people don’t remember, InterOp (Inter-Operability), was a vendor
conference so that networking vendors could get together and try out “The
Internet.”  Essentially testing out each others equipment together.

Well, that’s kind of the gist of it.   Maybe we can do the conference
virtually these days?
