     Thanks Duane.  I know Ed and he is indeed a thought leader and key 
resource for our entire community. Looks like a great session.  I am 
copying our Carol Geyer, to see if she and Ed want to pursue a cross-link 
to that project on the ebxml.org site, or if the presentations below were 
posted anywhere.  I'm curious myself to see some of what was 
said.   Regards  JBC
