Based on the feedback (and lack of dissent) we've received, we believe we have consensus on mergine the NLD and XML specifications to form a single Usage Record Format Recommendation document. To this end, Rebekah, Scott, and I will draft the consilidated document, incorporating responses to the comments received during the public comment period. We will post the draft for comments and recommence the conference calls to tune to document. Once we believe we have consensus on the consolidated document, we will submit it to the GGF Editor to finish the GGF process. Thanks, everyone, for your help and input to this recommendation and the process. LM Laura F.
