mm1: Matt, reviewing minutes may only partially indicate any ongoing 
work or progress.  To your question re: the JC, it has made progress 
(albeit slowly). For example, ebMS-CPPA-ebBP have been using that forum 
to aid in aligning new specification versions, and encourage comment 
from other JC members. This helps provide the capability to continue to 
evolve the architecture of the set of ebXML components (even if 
loosely). As you have resigned as ebSOA editor, who will ebSOA consider 
to propose as a JC member, or is a question for John (Hardin)? Thank you.
