Zach,

I think process control could well be an important application for ebXML 
Registry.

The first step toward collective understanding of this application could
be a paper describes the application and how ebXML Registry is used
to enable it. Such a paper could be posted at relevant web sites and we
could review and approve it being linked off the TC site.

A next step could be to consider whether such a paper should be written
as an approved Technical Note by the TC. If the answer is yes then it may
be the right time to consider creating an SC chartered to author the TN.

Note that it is not always necessary to create an SC to author a TN. For 
example
the "Using ebXML Registry to Publish Web Services" TN was not authored
within an SC.

That said, I commend you on a good idea for a ebXML Registry application,
paper and possible technical note. I would suggest you get started on your
own while inviting interested folks to join you in writing the paper.

I would be willing to collaborate with you on this paper in a secondary role
if you see fit. Thanks.
