Re: [ebxml-jc] discussion list, ebxml mktg ...

     We need to have OASIS policies (which protect members, as well as 
users of our work) apply to anything produced by our groups.  As our rules 
currently are written, this means all deliverables should done in TCs, and 
not (by nonmembers) in discussion groups.  As Karl points out you're free 
to use those opportunities for other unofficial coordination as 
well.  Jacques, is there a specific activity you want to conduct that's 
thwarted by this?  How can we help?  Regards  JBC
