Clay Shirky is author of the forthcoming research report "Planning for Web Services: Obstacles and Opportunities," from O'Reilly & Associates.

While some people exchange ideas about Web services, the "Web Services Interoperability Organization" (WS-I) group is gaining 50 new members.
The number of companies belonging to the WS-I group now exceeds 100.
But Sun Microsystems still is not part of WS-I. Sun wants a founder status. Some of the founders, like Microsoft, IBM, Oracle or Intel don't want to give Sun such a position. I guess we'll read more on this in the weeks to come.
