any interested individuals and/or organizations to join our efforts and contribute to future meetings
of the FG SmartCable.

(free of charge). The working language is English and the approval of deliverables is taken by
consensus of the group.
Please also note that an email list is available for the use of FG SmartCable experts. If you wish to
register to this email list please contact TSB and we will give you further information.
