Re: [legalxml-econtracts] Face2Face Meetings

No, I'm sorry. I'm traveling next week Tuesday and Wednesday. Perhaps 
Jamie could participate?

OASIS is usually able to make arrangements for meeting space for TCs at 
industry conferences where we are a sponsor or host. But we don't have 
the resources to payfor meeting space otherwise; you would have to look 
for sponsorship from one of your members. We would be able to provide 
some limited amount of help with logistical arrangements; Dee Schur, our 
conference coordinator can help with this.
