Re: [office] How about an interoperability Subcommittee?

["Charles-H. Schulz" <charles-h.schulz@arsaperta.com>]

Dear Alex,

perhaps should we form an Interoperability SC within the UOML TC and
then coordinate back here? I think that there obviously needs to be some
technical, specification work to be done at the strict level of
interoperability, so forming the SC here might be a good choice. Of
course the Adoption TC needs to be involved as well.

Regards,

Charles-H. Schulz.
