If you need any further information regarding BS7666 and CIQ, feel free to 
contact Mr.Robert James, one of our CIQ TC member. He is the perfect person 
for this. BTW, the e-Government of New Zealand Government has also in

No I am not. But I will definitely be at XML 2002 in Baltimore, Dec.2002.
John, if things go well, I might be in London in Oct.2002 for the Information 
Quality Conference.

Let us keep in touch
