Re: TA Specification Review

["agrangard@nycall.com" <anders.grangard@edifrance.org>]

This is my proposal, which is according to the ebXML time plan as amended at
this week's steering committee. It is my final one as, I am embarrassed to
say, do not intend to work over Christmas. I suggest any appeal to be
addressed to the executive team.

1. Voting by the Technical Architecture PT - 4th January (a vote next week
would not allow the team sufficient time for review, many will be on
holidays and no time will be gained)
2. Review by the Quality Review PT -5th to 9th January
3. Public review - 10th January to 23rd January
4. Editing/integration - 24th January to 2nd February
5. ebXML vote - 16th February

Merry Christmas
Anders
