W3C is making progress on supporting electronic payments on the web. This WG
Meeting has been called to foster discussion and feedback between W3C and
its members. Discussion will focus on proposals to the W3C for payment
protocols, interfaces, and e-commerce support.
The agenda for the electronic payment workshop is still being settled. At
the current time we have confirmed presentations by VISA, IBM, W3C, and the
Financial Services Technical Consortium (FSTC). Additional invitations have
been issued, and suggestions for additional presentations would be welcome.
Contact Phillip Hallam-Baker ([email protected]) or Jim Miller ([email protected])
