Re: ebXML Requirements Conference Call - Thursday March 2

[Mike Rawlins <rawlins@metronet.com>]

Kenji,

We talked about this quite a bit in Orlando, and have consensus on the
statement.  Per our work group procedures, we won't be changing this before our
March 6 target unless the project team votes to reconsider in our conference
call Thursday morning.  You can certainly repeat your comment when we put the
document out for full work group approval after March 6.
