RE: [legalxml-enotary] OASIS talk at Summer NASS Meeting

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

I tend to agree with Mark on the RSA booth given the cost; however, the
ABA ISC and DE meeting just prior to RSA where several of the legal
lights of digital evidence will be in attendance and the cost is free is
still a viable option.
