Hi, Folks-

From an IPR perspective, in order for a large company (or other organization) to get involved in the WG, they would have to do a wide-ranging (and lengthy and expensive) patent search. To join the WG, the company's patent search would have to cover *everything* that the WebApps WG is doing, not just geolocation.
Just to clarify, I'm talking about the WebApps WG here... obviously, to join the proposed Geolocation WG, a company would only have to do a patent search and PP commitment on *geolocation*, not everything in the WebApps WG. :)
