RE: [emergency] EDXL-DE Committee Draft

[Elysa Jones <ejones@warningsystems.com>]

Hey Tim,
Yes, the next TC call is 3/9.  Whether we pull it now and make a change or 
wait until another round we could still not get it to a final OASIS vote 
until May given the calendar process requirements.  The Committee Draft has 
to be to OASIS for 5 business days before going to 15 day review and must 
be back from 15 day review, comments addressed, voted Committee 
Specification and back to OASIS by the 15th of the month prior to the 
ratification vote.  We are on a tight schedule for a vote the last 2 weeks 
of April even if we receive no substantive comments.
Thanks for your input,
Elysa
