Issue: Is the BP PT Technical Specification still considered on track for the
"ebXML Plenary Vote" option in August given the difficulty experienced in
posting the specification to the ebXML website ?

The answer is "yes."

See ebXML Steering Committee e-mail responses below:

It has been over a week now that I have sent on behalf of the BP
and Architecture team their draft specification in pdf form to
Brent. However, they are not shown under on our web site under
"Drafts - Open for Comments".

6/7/00 In response to the BP PT question related to "on track" BPPT Technical
Specification, Klaus writes:
In order to overcome the missing links under the "Drafts:
Open for Comment" page for the Architecture, BP and Core
Component Draft Specification, Klaus will post the links on
the ebXML (General) list. The StC agreed not to change the timetable because of
the problems with the links being made public outside their
list members.
