RE: Agenda Comments

["Miller, Robert (GEIS)" <Robert.Miller@geis.ge.com>]

Melanie's request to discuss Orland faciliites and meeting times will be
handled under 'Schedule for next meeting'
I've added '(Orlando)' to that bullet.  Melanie, is that enough change, or
should I add second level bullets and give
more detail there?

Melanie's request to have team members prepare brief presentations on
external doucments they have knowledge of
falls under the heading 'Individual/Sub-team work assignments'.  I've added
two bullets under that heading.

The revised preliminary agenda is:


*	Appointment of recording secretary for this meeting
*	Announcement of Attendees
*	Motion to approve agenda
*	Administrative Items
*	Participation responsibilities of team members
*	Status of permanent web site and list servers
*	Approval of Project Scope, Project Mission, and Project Deliverables
*	Liaisons
*	Liaison Reports
*	ebXML Requirements
*	Core Components
*	Transport, Routing and Packaging
*	Registry and Repository
*	Messaging and Packaging
*	Sales, Education, and Marketing
*	Technical Support
*	Business Process Methodology
*	External Organizations
*	Assignments of individuals to unfulfilled liaison posts
*	Discussion of submitted work items (as posted on the team web site)
*	Individual/Sub-team work assignments
		- Preparation of brief presentations on documents for
Orlando Meeting
		- Preparation of draft text on Techncial Architecture work
items
*	New Business
*	Schedule for next meeting (Orlando)
*	Adjournment
