UN/CEFACT "straw man" for ebXML

[Bob Glushko <Bob.glushko@commerceone.com>]

I won't be able to attend tonight's steering committee meeting, but I wanted
to make sure that one of the agenda items was reviewing this "straw man"
agenda and work group plan for ebXML that the UN/CEFACT Technology and
Methodology WG (I'm a member) has hashed out in its own Face to Face meeting
this week. We agreed inside of TMWG that this document would be "officially"
sent to OASIS/xml.org (these UN folks have a lot of process...) but I want
to give everyone as much time to think about this as possible.
