Re: Registry Services Specification v0.4

[Farrukh Najmi <Farrukh.Najmi@east.sun.com>]

Scott,

I second your thought on a meeting tomorrow. Unfortunately the earliest I am
available is 4pm EDT.
I can stay as late as needed but cannot start earlier. Would 4-5:30pm EDT work
for everyone? Does
anyone want to host the conference call? If not I will be glad to.

Lastly, Scott for my benefit could you list the constant (active) members of
the team and their affiliations, so
I can get to know people.

Regards,
Farrukh
