Apologies for being unclear earlier Jeff.
I attended meetings, right up until the ISO fasttrack vote when the
TC began to focus exclusively on the issue list.   Prior to that I
attended several of the conference calls, and took a vacation day to
attend 1/2 of the face to face meeting held here in Toronto.

It took a fair amount of argument to ensure that the issues Novell
and I generated for the last year were accepted.   It was essential
to follow through and push for responses.
