-oneAPI Community Forum Image SIG
-================================
-
-The Image SIG hosts discussions and presentations for fundamental
-image processing routines for high-performance computing, engineering,
-financial, and other applications.
-
-This SIG discusses the oneAPI Image Processing Library (oneIPL),
-currently in the planning and spec development stage. Its goal is to
-become an extensive library of ready-to-use, highly optimized image
-processing functions. As part of oneAPI, oneIPL is designed to allow
-execution on various computational devices: CPUs, GPUs, and other
-accelerators. The functionality is subdivided into several domains:
-filers, geometry transformations, and color and type conversions.

+Introduction
+============
+
+The Image SIG hosts discussions and presentations for fundamental image
+processing routines for high-performance computing, engineering, financial, and
+other applications.
+
+This SIG discusses the oneAPI Image Processing Library (oneIPL) in the planning
+and spec development stage. Its goal is to become an extensive library of
+ready-to-use, highly optimized image processing functions. As part of oneAPI,
+oneIPL is designed to allow execution on various computational devices: CPUs,
+GPUs, and other accelerators. The functionality is subdivided into several
+domains: filers, geometry transformations, and color and type conversions.
 
 Its royalty-free APIs help developers:
 
-1. Use vectorization and SIMD (single instruction, multiple data)
-   instructions on CPU and GPU.
+1. Use vectorization and SIMD (single instruction, multiple data) instructions
+   on CPU and GPU.
+
+2. Use CPU threading and GPU SIMT (single instruction, multiple threads).
+
+3. Improve the performance of computation-intensive applications with pipelines
+   involving image processing and other operations provided as DPC++ kernel or
+   oneAPI libraries.
+
+In addition to domain-specific functionality, the Image SIG may also discuss
+overall design features like the execution model, memory model, or error
+handling. At times, the open source oneIPL Interfaces project, which implements
+the oneIPL specification may also be discussed.
+
+Purpose of the Group
+====================
+
+The Image Special Interest Group (Image SIG) is committed to the collaborative
+development, understanding, and promotion of the open standard oneIPL. We aim
+to build a comprehensive image-processing library to set a new standard for
+image processing in the oneAPI ecosystem.
+
+1. Collaborate: Gather key industry stakeholders to contribute to the oneIPL
+   standard. Engineers and software developers from across the industry will
+   share insights, knowledge, and resources to collaboratively shape the future
+   of the oneIPL specification.
 
-2. Use CPU threading and GPU SIMT (single instruction, multiple
-   threads).
+2. Innovate: Encourage innovative thinking and problem-solving to advance the
+   future of image processing within the oneAPI ecosystem.
 
-3. Improve the performance of computation-intensive applications with
-   pipelines involving image processing and other operations provided
-   as DPC++ kernel or oneAPI libraries.
+3. Educate: Share experiences and best practices related to oneIPL with the
+   wider oneAPI community.
 
-In addition to domain-specific functionality, the Image SIG may also
-discuss overall design features like the execution model, memory
-model, or error handling. At times, the open source oneIPL Interfaces
-project, which implements the oneIPL specification, may also be
-discussed.
+Strategy for Achieving Goals
+============================
+
+To achieve these goals, the following strategic approach will be taken:
+
+1. Community Building: Foster a vibrant and active community of engineers and
+   software developers who meet regularly to discuss, debate, and determine the
+   direction of oneIPL. This will be achieved through online events and a clear
+   communication channel for group members.
+
+2. Open Collaboration: Promote an open-source mindset to enable active
+   contributions from all members. The group will focus on collaboration,
+   maintaining a transparent process where all members have access to resources
+   and are encouraged to provide input on development.
+
+3. Training and Education: Organize training sessions, workshops, and webinars
+   to educate members and the broader oneAPI ecosystem about the features,
+   advantages, and potential of the oneIPL library. This will also be an
+   opportunity to gather feedback and requirements from end users.
+
+4. Regular Updates and Reviews: Schedule periodic meetings for group members to
+   share their experiences, progress, and challenges with the oneIPL
+   library. These sessions will act as a platform for knowledge sharing,
+   brainstorming solutions, and shaping the roadmap for the future of the
+   oneIPL specification.
+
+5. Integration with the oneAPI Ecosystem: Work closely with the broader oneAPI
+   community to ensure the oneIPL library seamlessly integrates with the other
+   elements of the oneAPI ecosystem. This will help ensure the standard is
+   accessible, beneficial, and valuable to the community.
+
+Through this purpose and strategic approach, the Image Special Interest Group
+will shape the future of image processing via the oneIPL image processing
+library in alignment with the broader goals of the oneAPI ecosystem. We believe
+in the power of collaborative innovation to drive the future of image
+processing and look forward to contributing to this journey.
