Many Thanks John, We appreciate all your help throughout the process. We are looking forward to completing the process for the remaining three specs. More importantly the implementation and testing never stopped during spec submissions so we are even more so pleased to have increasing levels of reference implementations at the forthcoming GGFs, followed by interoperability further out. I would like to reserve some time with you at Boston to pin down more specifically the requirements for the formal standard promotion based on the existing interoperable reference implementations. This is especially important for the interoperability between SmartFrog and XML-Based CDDLM language. I am cc-in the CDDLM mailing list on the reply and the key contributors to the CDDLM work: Steve Loughran, Stuart Schaefer, and Jun Tatemura. Of course, the key contributor to this spec is Patrick Goldsack (father of the SmartFrog). Most recent additions to the team is group from Brazil, led by Ayla, who pursue an independent reference implementation. In particular, I'd like to thank Hiro for his support in getting CDDLM closer to the EMS/OGSA-WG. This will be key for the adoption of CDDLM within the GGF community and putting it onto the OGSA landscape. This should be just a beginning of a string of successes of the CDDLM team. I am fortunate to have an opportunity to work on it. Best regards, Dejan.

You may have seen Greg Newby's comment in the tracker, but I'm pleased to report the GFSG agreed today to accept the CDDLM Smartfrog document for publication as a Proposed Recommendation. The editor will be applying some formatting changes (fonts etc), date, document number etc., which may take one or more weeks to complete.
Congratulations and many thanks to you and your team for this latest publication in the CDDLM document series!
