As you probably know the requirement for multipeer data transmission 
is to be "reassessed" at Florence in November.  The working draft
addendum to ISO 7498-1 has been frozen in document ISO-IEC/JTC1/SC21 
N3287.

Unless a certain degree of international interest is expressed in Florence
there is a chance that plans for this work will be dropped, or perhaps shelved
as an ISO technical report.  One or two countries are concerned that the work
should be completed, but I'm not sure exactly which ones - the UK certainly is,
and I think possibly the US too.

It would probably be appropriate for anyone, who is interested enough to 
offer any resources, to contact their own national standards organization
(ANSI in the case of the US).
