Rik,

I would submit that this is exactly the type of press we were hoping to
avoid in synchronizing ebXML TRP with SOAP.  Since IBM was also a
participant in the SOAP effort, the "dispute" was manufactured by the press.
Can you please work with the Marketing team to get more correct information
into the hands of people like Siobhan Kennedy?

Also, could I have a copy of the TRP slides from the closing plenary?

thanx,
	doug
