Quarter report of PPS-TC

[Yasuyuki Nishioka <nishioka@k.hosei.ac.jp>]

Mary,

Since I returned to my office in Japan, activities of 
PPS-TC are going to make their new standard more progressively
than the previous year. 

On Wednesday May 25th, PPS-TC face-to-face meeting was held
in Tokyo, and discussed the PPS Part-1 working draft, which
is almost a final stage in the process of making committee
draft. We agreed that the Part-1 standard will be voted in
the next couple of months.

In this process, first, the Japanese language edition will
be endorsed informally, followed by the English edition as
a formal decision of the committee.

In the f-2-f meeting, we also discussed Part-2 first draft,
which describes business transaction messages. The Part-2
will be hopefully finalized in this year.

Regards,
Yasu
