Re: [xcbf] Teleconference Meeting

[John Larmouth <j.larmouth@salford.ac.uk>]

Just asking for information:  Were any of the TC members at the SC37 
Biometrics Standards meeting in Ottawa last week?

(Apart from myself and OSS-Nokalva people????)

Or are any active in SC17?  I am afraid I am ignorant of people's 
backgrounds.
