The New Media Council is a high level experts Group launched by the AVISTA Project, a Specific Support Action of the Networked Audivisual Systems and Home Platforms Strategics Objective. The NAVSHP NMC aims at supporting the implementation of the FP6 work programme in the NAVSHP area.

The NMC has held its Preparatory meeting on 2004 March 12th in Brussels.

The NMC consists of a group of key personalities and leaders of industry, representing a cross section of scientific, industrial and strategic interests relating to the theme of activities of the Strategic Objective "Network Audio visual systems and Home Platforms", as currently described in the Work Programme of the IST Priority of the 6th Framework Programme of R&D.

The main purpose of these highly qualified experts is to set-up a permanent consulting and advisory body to the NAVSHP Constituency and to the Commission in the field of the audiovisual and Home platforms strategic objective.

The objectives will be achieved by bringing together a senior industry consultative committee that includes opinion formers and key senior individuals also associated with standards and policy bodies who will interact with the Concertation process. The committee will specifically aim at:

1. Supporting domain integration and contributing to exploitation of results.

- Providing a forum for discussion of key R&D, industrial and standardisation issues.
- Providing advice of work progress and plans to on-going FP6 projects.
- Articulating the work carried out within the R&D projects at EU level.
- Bridging the gap between R&D work and the industrial requirements for open standards and interoperability.

2. Contributing to the definition of future research priorities.

- Conducting a reflection on the requirements for change of focus or direction at programme level, of the 2003-2004 Work Programme of the 6th FP.
- Setting the scene of the R&D activities in the domain within the 7th Framework Programme, with a long term perspective.

Mr. David Wood from the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) acts as the NMC Chairman. Strategic Advisors related to the industry, standardization and policy fields are invited to join to this European Council.
