Re: OASIS/iCal collab & WS-Calendar charter.

[Jamie Clark <jamie.clark@oasis-open.org>]

Thanks.  I sure don't see any problems with that.  The TC members,
Dave included, are in a better position than I to know -- and refine
the references to the specific works in the final motion the TC may
wish to approve.

A caution:  the colored text in Dave's message may not survive all
e-mail readers & the archive. So, in the appended plain text copy
below, I have [bracketed] his proposed changes for readability.
Regards  Jamie
