Yes indeed, Carl,
Thanks. This reminds me that we need to ensure that we get international
input on requirements for EDXL-DE 1.1. As I noted in our meeting today,
the NCOIC Patterns under development across the spectrum, all have
geographical and geopolitical components that need to be taken into account.
Cheers,
Rex
