I think you're right. As of the November proxy, SEG only held 6 million pre-split shares So how many do they still hold? Jay

More important SDA news posted on Yahoo! by WindshieldsBill... BURLINGAME, CA, July 12, 2000 The SD Association (SDA) continued to build significant industry momentum as it concluded its third open standards meeting of the year. Attendees at the meeting numbered 180, drawing from a membership base which has now climbed to 82 industry leading firms. The SDA’s management team was also significantly strengthened with the acceptance of Canon, Palm Inc. and Philips Electronics to the SDA’s board of directors. The SDA is an open industry standards organization established in January 2000. Its mission is to set industry standards for the SD (Secure Digital) Card and promote its wide acceptance in a variety of applications. SDA president Ray Creech said, "Our third meeting, which was recently held in the San Francisco Bay Area, serves as a strong indicator of the industry support we have achieved in a very short time span. This support is evidenced by our growing membership base, strong board of directors representation and significant progress in applications development. Milestones achieved during our third meeting clearly indicate that we are on track in our efforts to make SD card "the" de-facto secure data storage and I/O media for a wide range of digital devices by the end of this year" In the SDA’s second meeting held in April 2000, three work groups were formed to establish reference specifications to ensure application interoperability in: I/O (Bluetooth and LAN), Visual (Motion and Still pictures) and Audio (Kiosk support). These work groups have now published, within the SDA, their draft specifications for revision 1.0 release which will be approved by the executive membership at the October 2000 meeting. In addition to these work groups, two new work groups were formed at the recent meeting in the areas of: Sound (MIDI) Voice (Personal Audio) and Documents (Printing and Fax). These new groups are targeting to release these specifications by Spring 2001. "Palm Inc. is committed to helping the SDA drive widespread industry acceptance of the SD Card in the shortest possible time – both in terms of a storage medium and as a communications medium," said Byron Connell, Vice President, Consumer Markets Group at Palm. "We believe that the SD standard offers tremendous value to enterprises as well as individual handheld users, which is why we announced our commitment to support the standard in both the Palm OS® platform as well as our own branded products. Part of the value proposition we see is the inter-operability between handhelds, smartphones and other devices. We are committed to working with the SDA membership to provide an abundance of solutions using SD-equipped hardware and media." Ausdauer
