Fwd: ebXML POC

[Nicholas Kassem <Nick.Kassem@eng.sun.com>]

Simon,

We are working hard to get some of the technical issues sorted out but we 
aren't making fast enough progress on the "Business Message" we would like 
to give as part of the Tokyo-POC. We need to wordsmith, using appropriate 
language, a business message such that we can answer the question; " this 
is all very good but as a business person tell me why I should care about 
this event and what problem are you solving ?". I think we have lots of 
good answers but we need to get the language right and make the story 
compelling.

Do you think you or someone from the coms WG can help us craft the couple 
of pages we need ? Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Nick

p.s. I expect this message to serve as the cover page for the POC hand-out 
material.
