Re: [ebxml-mktg] ebXML name

Hi All. For some reason this discussion has changed into "should we scrap the ebXML name". As I made clear in my initial email, that is not an option before the marketing team. What the JCC had requested feedback on was the following:
The ebXML JCC is planning to release profiles of ebXML standards, and infrastructure specs such as SOAP, WSDL, XMLDSIG, that can be used to conduct mission critical, industrial strength web services. We were wondering whether we should brand these profiles as ebWS, or something else. I still would appreciate feedback on that. Discussions on changing the names of the set of specs, namely ebXML, is moot. Regards,
Apu
