Re: FW: [ebxml-dev] ISO and UN/CEFACT initiate "Open Data Interchange" Framework Technical Report

[Tim McGrath <tim.mcgrath@documentengineeringservices.com>]

We have had high level talks with OASIS management before proposing this 
project and they understand that their members are eligible for 
participation and support the overall aims of the technical report.

It is not just BDXR but also the IebXML, WS-* and other TCs that should 
be interested in participating.  Many of these are listed in the project 
proposal.  So we probably do need to target specific TCs to make them 
aware also and I will take this up with OASIS how they want to do this. 
The project was only approved on May 5th so we are still setting up some 
of the liaison processes.

PS. I thought I was in the BDXR TC but it appears with rechartering we 
have to rejoin?  I was not aware of this and I have just rejoined.  
Seems very odd as I was a founding member and approved the change!
