ebXML Transport - minutes conf call March 16, 2000

[David Burdett <david.burdett@commerceone.com>]

Folks

Belatedly I attach the minutes from last Thursday's Conference Call. If
there are people's names that are omitted from the attendees, I'll add them
as corrections to the next minutes.

This is the second week that I have been late in getting these minutes out.
I would therefore suggest that we rotate the "keeper of the minutes" to
spread the load. Can we talk about this on this weeks conference call.

Regards

David
