Dear Kai-Uwe, We expect to have discussions that result in specs and recommendations to OS vendors, to people who write device drivers, etc., so that the automation of ICC color management improves through better interactions between the platforms and the device vendors.  This is just starting now - so there is not yet much posted on this. We have had some email exchanges and the presentation materials from the Munich meeting will be posted on the ICC members only website. If an OpenICC person became a member of the ICC AWWG then that person would have the choice to contribute proposals to the discussions or to just listen. The ICC operates through a combination of email discussion and work getting done at the meetings.
