Arnoud de Kemp (Chairman of the STM Innovations Committee) was appointed to chair the Task Force and several members and colleagues have been involved: Maurice Long, Norman Paskin, Charles Clark, Alexis Koutchoumow, Douglas Armati, with John Dill, Herman Pabbruwe, Jean-Manuel Bourgois, Herman Frank and Stephen White as corresponding members. The task force met twice - on 8 December 1994 in London and on 10 February 1995 at the STM Secretariat in Amersfoort. They commissioned a report to Douglas Armati, which, after an initial discussion and various enhancements, could be presented at the St. Louis Conference on 24 April 1995 and to the Executive Board on 26 April, 1995. Copies were also distributed at the IFRRO board meeting in Copenhagen on April 19-20. This report and the recommendations made will help STM to start or at least stimulate discussion of an international initiative for multimedia information identifiers and metering systems.
