Re: [wsrp] Our conversation about WSRP v2

[Rich Thompson <richt2@us.ibm.com>]

Eilon was very receptive to our concerns
and doubted that WebCollage would want to stand in the way of widespread
adoption of WSRP v2. On the other hand, he said he was in no position to
state intent for the company. Rather he agreed to kick off a process of
getting executive/legal agreement on a statement of intent. As a result,
I suggest we postpone things a month and give him time to try and move
that process forward.

Rich,
  Do you have a wider summary of this call?  What was Eilon's
reaction 
to the questions concerning v1 IP? Are we in a situation where it may be
worth postponing the vote and waiting?  Or are you still hoping things
will come together by mid-month?
