ebXML Conference Call (was Re: ebXML Requirements Progress (or lack of it))

[Mike Rawlins <rawlins@metronet.com>]

Thanks, Bob.  That was a very good suggestion.  Please reply to me personally
about how to get jump started on this

Folks - Please indicate your availability for a conference call later this
week or early next week.  Mornings (central standard time, U.S.) work best for
me.  Please also indicate if your company might be willing to arrange and pick
up the tab for the initial call.    We can discuss on the call whether we
would all be available for a weekly call, and if so, when would work best.
