The "Drafts: Open for Comment" page at
http://www.ebxml.org/specindex.htm is addressed "To the ebXML Work Group
Participants."  They have until March 27th to respond;  I responded with
some nit-picky things, but I don't feel that it is that readable of a
document to be introduced to the "world."   Shouldn't we have waited
until the rest of the "ebXML Work Group Participants" had a chance to
comment and the document was updated before the press release was
issued?

And can this discussion be limited to the general ebXML mailing list and
Marketing and Awareness?

may be i have a procedural misunderstanding. Now i know that everything
we do is viewable by the public... but i thought we did work in the
committee, then voted on release to the wider ebxml audience for review
and after they reviewed it then we released it to the public... what i
get from the discussion is that voting to pass it on to the wider ebxml
community is the same as going to the wider audience "officially"... is
this true?  if so i would like to discuss it, because it think that will
get us in trouble....

best regards, rik
