The existing Liberty Advanced Clients Specifications will be accepted as a starting place and additional work to realize the requirements specified in the Liberty Robust Client MRD in future editions of those specifications..
To achieve this, the group will undertake the development of Client related specification drafts while continuously reviewing current and emerging technology for potential harmonization and convergence. Such Technical Drafts will be contributed to an appropriate Standards Setting Organization for its life cycle and maintenance phases.
