Microsoft‘s role at MPEG • CG received input from MS’s regarding our requirements of an REL • MS made a related submission regarding evaluation of RELs • MS also made a submission expanding the scope of a REL beyond Digital Works • MS withheld support of a REL until we evaluated MPEG submissions • Then MS was instrumental in getting the best language adopted
