It is hard to believe that just six months ago we started on the journey together to create a recommended method for facility management systems to work together using Internet standards. At the time we challenged each other to work rapidly and to deliver results to the industry in less then a year. At the time many thought that we were crazy - that this would take years - or that we could never reach agreement.

But our meeting on October 7th, 2003 in Cincinnati showed that we are clearly on the right track. There continues to be good attendance and participation. We had very strong discussion and listened to three very well thought out and presented proposals to base our work on. Most impressively, we saw folks from all areas of the industry working cooperatively together to achieve this goal.

[an error occurred while processing this directive]While it is still very early in this process, it appears like we can reach our goals. Work needs to progress on all fronts. But some dedicated effort should make it possible to have early portions of our guidelines out in early 2004. I am looking forward to continued progress by all team members.

Thanks for your effort and participation, Paul Ehrlich Chair CABA XML/Web Services (oBIX) Committee
