John,
I have spoken with Fernando four times about this topic (CBEFF
alignment/profiling) since September. He has consistently said that he
is in favor of fast tracking XCBF as long as it is aligned with
Augmented CBEFF.
Yes, I can do netmeeting. I am also willing to help with any OASIS
procedural steps that are required as a prerequisite to doing the
netmeeting. :-)
Happy holidays...
