Comments (brackets indicate venue):

[London] (Q)  There is opportunity for ebXML to have permanent
              floor space throughout the show (9 pods).  Is POC
              interested in a week-long demo in the booth?  Perhaps
              something that could be done in conjunction with
              remote testing
         (A)  Let's think about it but lower priority than main
              showfloor.

[Geneva] (Q)  Can there be another f2f before 'Geneva' for real-time
              testing?
         (A)  Perhaps in London?  Perhaps another site?
         (A)  Promote real-time testing.
         (A)  Sounds like we need to make sure to evolve what we have
              (e.g. Tokyo implementations) to make sure we can meet
              the deadlines

[London] (Q)  What should we do with the two hour session at XML One?
         (A)  Proposed to divide the 2 hours into small software
              demonstrations from vendors with real product
              scenarios with ebXML.  Schedule would be posted
              ahead of time.  Envisioned to about 4 demos with
              2-3 vendors each.
         (A)  Proposed to do a lessons-learned and acceptance&
              adoption discussion to cater to the XML One audience.
              Perhaps do this as the first 30 minutes to an hour
              of the session

[London, New York, Geneva]
         (A)  Comments:  all focus is on 'Geneva'
              end-to-end.  London and New York are subsets of
              Geneva.
	   (A)  London and New York are marketing
         (A)  London session is only place vendor implementations
              are permitted.  Exception is exhibitor booths
              at XML One.

[Vancouver] (Q)  What about business process?
          (A) Will be doing an implementation for feedback to BP
              and to POC WG for 'Geneva' even if POC demonstration
              is not held.
          (A) No press will be released concerning these
              activities because not a POC activity.  Needed to
              protect vendor suppport of full-effort 'Geneva'
              planning.
          (A) Will be discussed in next POC telecon

I hope that I have captured everything.  Please feel free to add your
comments.

	Have a great day,
