Jamie,

And now the good news!

Remember - anything NIST develops is automatically open source and
freely available.

And OAG has already donated their BODs to ebXML/ us.

Report from this week - we made a great start on agreeing the 
goals, scope, schedule and admin stuff - and now the
hardwork begins for the techies to make it real - and this will be
the initiative that makes ebXML a success.

No doubt in my mind.

Cheers, DW.
