Dell and Hewlett-Packard asked VESA to provide this service. "Hewlett-Packard expects the work of the SPWG to continue within VESA and we are already beginning the process for further development of these specifications," said Bob Myers, manager of the Display Technology Center, Hewlett-Packard. "Dell welcomes the recent VESA decision to accept the existing SPWG specifications for publication as industry standards, and Dell will provide all necessary support to ensure success and further expansion of the specifications within VESA," said Joe Goodart, senior display engineer, Dell. VESA has in the past provided such support for existing de-facto industry standards, especially in the area of display timings. The VESA Board of Directors felt that it was appropriate to publish these standards as "VESA Industry Standard" documents although they had not gone through the formal VESA approval process. However, any future development of these specifications -- and this has also been proposed, to add the new 15.4" and 17.0" widescreen notebook panels to these standards -- will be performed under the standard VESA process.
