[Kenneth Bengtsson <tim.mcgrath@documentengineeringservices.com>]

Tim, Roger The UN/CEFACT initiative I mentioned at our last TC meeting was a for specific "reliable business document exchange across borders". It is my understanding that this is a different project from the "Open Data Interchange" project mentioned in Tim's email, and more directly related to BDXR. But perhaps Tim can elaborate on this? Tim, yes - after the rechartering was approved, the original BDX group was closed and a new BDXR group was created. Everyone from the old TC has had to rejoin the TC. It is just a technical/administrative procedure.
