Re: [wsbpel-reqts] RE: New Issue - Incomplete XPath expressions in thespecification

Monica,

Assuming this is not a duplicate, I
agree that we should ask if a member would be willing to submit it.  

Kristofer, 

please review issue 46 and let us know
your take on whether its a duplicate.  

Also, please be aware that your membership
status depends on meeting attendance.  You need to attend 2 out of
every 3 meetings to become a member and maintain member status.  This
requirement applies when you are a prospective member (indeed, you will
not be eligible for membership until you've attended 2 out of 3 meetings).

Peter,

Thanks for bringing this up.  

 

Regards, Diane

mm1: I suggest we have a member post the issue for Kristofer if there is

any question. The issue still exists regardless.
