Subject:  Conference calls



I am starting to think about setting up a conference call.

At our meeting August 10, we did a complex optimization and came up with a
starting time of 4 PM US Eastern time (and not Fridays) as the solution of
least pain (we span 17 time zones).  I am planning the first call for
Wednesday. Aug. 30.

Please let me know if you generally plan to participate in the conference
calls (even if not Aug. 30) so I will have some idea of how many lines to
reserve.

I also need suggestions for the agenda.  Following are some suggestions but
I would like to know your views on specific topics.  The main "homework
assignments" from the last meeting were to think  about meetings and to
review the IBM tpaML 1.0.6 proposal for ideas for the ebxml profile and TPA
definitions.  Of course, comments and questions on tpaML do not have to
wait for the conference call; please post to this list.

   At a minimum, please prepare to say what you have accomplished so far
   Requirements discussion
   tpaML 1.0.6 discussion
   Assignments for the next couple of weeks

Regards,
Marty
