<BR>
Dear Sir,<BR>
<BR>
I believe a representant of the Xiph Foundation addressed the IDABC<BR>
questionnaire publically at the following online location<BR>
<<A HREF="http://wiki.xiph.org/IDABC_Questionnaire_2009">http://wiki.xiph.org/IDABC_Questionnaire_2009</A>>.<BR>
<BR>
We hope you find those answers useful for your investigation.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Best regards,<BR>
<BR>
