RE: [wsrm] use of "wsrm" in docs. oasis-open.org namespace

["Paul Knight" <paul.knight@nortel.com>]

Hi Jamie and all,

Nortel's OASIS team believe the WSRM TC should express no reservations
or objections to the use of the [docs.oasis-open.org/ws-rx/wsrm/....]
space by the WS-RX TC.

Regards,
Paul Knight and Abbie Barbir
