[Tim McGrath <tmcgrath@portcomm.com.au>]

At today's call we agrred that as of 13:00 US East Coast time you can 
make the necessary announcement (it gives us time to post up all the 
lastest edits).

Our only change to your text is in the section that reads..

The OASIS UBL Library Content Subcommittee invites interested
parties to comment on this release directly to the Library Content
Subcommittee Editor, Bill Meadows (bill.meadows@sun.com) using the
recommended feedback form at

   [[[*** link to feedback document goes here ***]]]

Firstly, the URL for the feedback form is 
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/ubl/lcsc/0p70/UBL_Comment-0p1.rtf

Secondly, we would like you to add the paragraph...

"This release comment period applies from Monday, January 27th until 
Monday, April 14th 2003. We welcome all comments and will ensure to 
advise of our dispositions to any suggestions."

 - immediately after the previous statement.
