Re: United Nations

[Paul Rarey <[e-mail]>]

The notion of C=WW has been kicked around for sometime. I first heard 
discussions on this in the US-NMTS meetings two(?) years ago. There are 
providers who quietly (mostly) like to see this happen also. 

Ella Gardner at Mitre raised this issue also sometime back. I believe it was 
for the UN, but it might have been the World Health Organization. 

Comments Ella?
