Subject: RE: [office] How about an interoperability Subcommittee?



Hi Alex,

I'm on the ODF Adoption TC as well.  The various interoperability topics have come up for discussion, but not action taken on them.  Based on the discussion I've had with that committee, the consensus was that this work would require the technical expertise of the ODF TC.    But it is fair to say that there would likely be some level of collaboration with the Adoption TC as well.

Regards,

-Rob
