Re: [xcbf] conference call outcome

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

I think we should try to set that up in the New Year.  It does not havce to be 
an official Sub-Committee - just a group of Experts exploring avenues.

But if you want to explore with Tikky the establishment of an SC under the OASIS 
TC to progress a revision of XCBF that would be modified (I don't like the term 
"profile") to fully support SC37 needs, and particular to be fully CBEFF 
aligned, I believe this could be useful if Fernando would have a will to support 
the Fast-Tracking.

PS I discussed this with Jamie in Korea, and he said there would be no objection 
at all (indeed, positive encouragement) for the Fast Tracking of an OASIS Standard.
