Re: [ebxml-dev] WS vs. ebXML poll

I will pay you $100 if you go to Orlando and attend the Interop. jun27/28.
If 20 or 30 other people contribute, you're in business!

Tell your story to the other standards bodies, listen to their stories,
and come back and give us a roadmap for COORDINATING our
work.

Don't tell us, everything is ok, the specs are turning out to be
sort of complementary.  And especially, don't tell us after the fact,
that executives have been collaborating with Microsoft or IBM in
closed session.  We want all these things COORDINATED within
a transparent public process.
