[John Messing]

Dear George: The LegalXML Steering Committee met today to discuss your email dated March 21, 2007 which indicated EDRM intended to "finish what we have begun with the XML and XML 2 projects" with a view to transitioning to OASIS later, perhaps in the May 2008 timeframe. As we understand the email, EDRM XML believes it now is premature to consider joining LegalXML. The door is always open to EDRM XML as potential members. It is also possible, if sufficient LegalXML members believe it to be useful, for a LegalXML TC to be formed with the same subject matter as EDRM XML between now and such date as discussions between LegalXML and EDRM XML commence in earnest. If such a development occurred, a liasion relationship with EDRM XML could also be considered. Please let me know if I misunderstood your purpose or if there is anything else that might be useful to discuss. Thanks and best regards. John Messing Chair, LegalXML-OASIS Member Section
