All,

Our marketing folks tried to post this to the ebXML-poc mailing list. I'm
forwarding this on their behalf.

Hello Team,

Thank you for including us in the ongoing exchange of information and ideas
regarding the upcoming press event for the ebXML POC in San Francisco and
London.  Representing Viquity, I would like to throw our hat in the arena
and offer the services of Viquity's PR/marketing team to support this
effort.  Please include myself in any further decisions and conference calls
or please call to let me know what we can do.

At this point, who is taking the lead on this effort?

Thanks,

Bill Cox
