APEC declaration

TO:  MAE team

Todd Boyle, an ebXML participant, pointed out provisions of the recently 
completed Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) meeting in Brunei that 
encourage lowering the barriers to e-business around the world. President 
Clinton, Russian president Putin, and most other leaders in the region 
attended the meeting.  See the White House fact sheet for details: 
http://www.whitehouse.gov/WH/New/november2000/fact11_15.html .

This initiative may offer us an opportunity to make some noise about ebXML.  
One of the main objectives of ebXML is to lower the barriers to e-business.  
As a result, we can connect these good intentions to a way to get them done.  
Worth discussing further?  Best regards.
