What is the charter, and who is on-board?

Normally when a forum is started there is an initial post by the instigator, however with 1/2 the day gone and no post, I'm going to start it out with questions. Terrence, Sean and others of the gang from the M&E Dev days mentioned the idea of the Mobile Dev Alliance but no report of the Friday (1/25) meeting has been posted (that I've seen).
So my questions are:
- what came out of the 1/25 meeting
- where do we go for more information
- what is the charter for this Alliance
- who is on-board with it in the way of operators/manufacturers/others
If it is REALLY a group that will have a voice and be able to quickly affect change in the market then where do I sign up!?! 
So what do we do next folks?
Update: Thought I should include the link to Terrence's blog that first mentioned it (to my knowledge).

Hi Shawn,
You're too fast ... I am still working on setting things up. In particular, the cross-posting between the forums and the interest mailing list is not working, nor do we have the wiki set up yet 
We'll start ramping up in a few days and start the discussions in earnest once a couple of key people have subscribed that I know are interested.
Cheers,
-- Terrence

Hi Terrence,
Do you have an ETA on when we should anticipate information to be posted about this alliance group and what help it might bring to the suffering of JavaME developers?
Since I first got involved using JavaME when it first came out as KSpot from the Sun labs research group, I have always seen great potential, and heard great promises for it's future. However the future when brought to fruition has never been as sweet as the promises.
I am truly hopeful that this alliance will be able to help the situation before mobile development gets too splintered, and JavaME becomes just another footnote like the pico-java chip, like PJava, and the Zaurus PDA.
Let us (the community) know what we need to do. I would hope this alliance would be more open and visible in its operation than the mobile market that we must work in.
Sorry for being so blunt, but I'm seeing the excitement (and developers) leaving JavaME for more fruitful markets (or at least less restricted and more progressive ones). I feel with it coming up on 10 years of JavaME in one form or another, we should just be further along.
Regards,
-Shawn
