Subject: RE: [chairs] need IP statements on OASIS TC web pages
Chairs: This is just a reminder to put any IP claims on your web pages. If you have any questions about this policy please contact me. (I'll try not to bug you about this again, but I just wanted to follow up from my first request to make sure that it got taken care of.) </karl> ================================================================= Karl F.
