[comp.compression] JBIG: Who are they / what is their charter?

I am looking for information regarding the JBIG standards group.  They seem to
be a relative of JPEG, but intended for monochrome and gray scale images.
I think that the acronym stands for Joint Binary/Bitonal? Image Group.
Unfortunately, um, missfiled my sole reference to it.  I'd be delighted if
someone from the JBIG group could post their charter to the net, and provide
literature pointers.  Of course, I would also accept email.  Thanks,
