That is very much clearer now. I did try sending this message direct to Jim (james.isaak@ljo.dec.com) but it got bounced saying: While talking to vanna.ljo.dec.com: >>> RCPT To: <<< 550 ... Addressee unknown 550 ... User unknown So I trust this route will get the message through. In fact, I think the only technical question we have for WG15 at present is to ask you if you have any comments on the two publications on OSE Conformance Testing we produced at the end of 1995. These are the vocabulary (ETG 009 R2) and the analysis (ETG 059) documents. Both are in Word format and available from the EWOS Web server from http://www.ewos.be/ct/edocs.htm. Jim, please distribute these documents in WG15 if you have not already done so (Dave Cannon had them some time ago) and let us know if you have comments. Then we can decide whether and when a meeting would be appropriate.
