Re: OASIS E-GOV TECHNICAL COMMITTEE PARTICIPATION

[Thomas Lee <ytlee@cecid.hku.hk>]

if appropriate. I may also try to invite some government people from 
Mainland China to see if they want to come. We have invited another 
Japanese speaker called Mr. Sugamata and I'll see he would like to attend.
