RE: [legalxml-courtfiling] A question from LegalXML-OASIS CourtFiling

[John Messing <jmessing@law-on-line.com>]

Given the information that has accompanied the comments on my initial draft of a letter to complete the assigned
task, I believe that the information I was seeking has already been provided by members of the TC itself, and
so unless there is objection, I will consider the task accomplished. Thanks for the input and help. Best
regards to all.
