Subject: Re: [regrep] ebXML Registry: Deviations from CCTS


All,

Now that awareness of these issues has been risen to a wide audience
(that was my aim), we will continue the discussions within the CC Review
listserv. If anyone Registry TC is not a member of the CC Review
listserv and would like to participate in continuing these discussions,
we would be very happy to have you join the CC Review SC.

Thanks,
Joe
