Title: Re: OASIS-Open Group SOA Activity

I plan to be there as at least an observer.  If we can get the go ahead from everyone, I would like to get involved at a deeper level.  Can you please send me the exact details for the face to face?

As you know, we are planning a meeting on this topic at our San Diego conference in the week of February 2, and hope to see representation there from OASIS and from the OMG. This will be an excellent opportunity to establish a common position.

Practical issues may of course need to be resolved, and we would need to establish who would attend on behalf of The Open Group. Can you tell us, please, where and when your next face-to-face meeting is?

In order to do this, the Open Group would need to be present during our next F2F meeting.  We wish to ask you if there are any reasons why we as a TC cannot pursue this or, in the alternative, do we require some higher agreement between the two parent organizations?
