RE: eBTWG Proposal BPSS Revision Project 0.3 DRAFT

["Welsh, David" <David.Welsh@nordstrom.com>]

Brian,
Excellant. 
The proposal seems to get better as you addresses a lot of comments from other people, to the original draft you sent out. In addition to the comments below, in a way without specific reference also I think you're capturing some of real essence of David Webber's "Business Process Artifacts
Alignment" draft proposal.

It looks like a well justified proposal, and representative.

-Dave
