SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This meeting represents the culmination of 
efforts by the IRS to facilitate the establishment of an organization 
focusing on electronic communications. In an announcement published in 
the Federal Register dated May 26,1993, the IRS invited firms 
interested in the establishment of a public electronic communications 
consortium to contact the IRS.The tremendous response prompted the IRS 
to schedule a meeting for September 21, 1993. Over 90 companies 
participated in the meeting. A smaller tactical meeting was held in 
November 1993, followed up by an organizational working session in 
January 1994. Several companies stepped forward to take the initiative 
in developing a transition organization. At the February 17 meeting, 
firms in attendance will be invited to adopt or modify a draft charter 
and select working groups in which to participate.

Director, Input Processing Division.
