“The purpose of the corporation shall be to encourage and enable the rapid, broad and open industry adoption of standards-based networking features for time-sensitive, highly reliable audio/video applications. While the layer-2 standards developed by the ieee 802.1 avb task group provide a foundation for said features, other standards and/or specifications will also be referenced or employed as necessary to provide a quality end-to-end compatibility and experience. To this end it is anticipated that the corporation will engage in the following as appropriate: 1. Provide a forum where participants identify and document test requirements for verifying conformance to relevant standards (e.g. The ieee 802.1 avb standards, but not strictly limited to these). 2. Educate customers as to the applications, value, and benefits of networked systems based on avb standards. 3. Protect the needs of customers and increase competition among vendors by supporting the creation and implementation of conformance test procedures and processes that promote interoperability between systems provided by different vendors, thereby helping to ensure that (a) devices work together and (b) an ecosystem of interoperable devices is created. 4. Maintain relationships with other technology consortia and other organizations that support and contribute to the development of relevant technologies, standards, guidelines, and specifications. Examples include but are not restricted to dlna, upnp, aes, ietf, ieee, ce4a, and the like in industries such as consumer electronics, automotive, and professional audio and/or video. 5. Encourage relevant organizations to reference specifications of the corporation at various levels of the osi layers (i.e. At the layer-2 level, and above) depending on the scope and needs of the organization(s). 6. Where deemed necessary, the corporation may authorize the creation of minor specifications that fill gaps left by sdos, alliances, consortia and the like, but the corporation must refrain from doing so unnecessarily. In furtherance of these efforts, the corporation and its participants shall seek to solicit the participation and comments of all interested parties on a fair, equitable and open basis.”
