RE: [Fwd: Fwd: Minutes - face to face meeting Chicago - 13/09/00]

Dick,
  we spent 45 minutes in our last conf call talking about UDDI, and one of
our action items was to ask Jon Bosak, who has joined our group at least for
the time being, to contact Simon Nicolson of Sun to ensure that putting out
a coherent message about the UDDI/ebxml relationship was a topic at the
ebxml marketing committee meeting that was to be held right after our call.
I don't know whether Jon did this, but if he did the marketing folks didn't
report that they acted on our request. So we need to escalate this at the
next steering committee meeting.
