Re: Business Voc and ADMS

Hi Michael,
First, all the best & I hope the wind is at your back for the last mile!

Next, I'll ask this be entered as an action item during today's WG call for a subsequent call.  In the meantime, Phil will hopefully give an update on today's call on status & get this on everyone's radar, and specifically on the radar of the eyes who can review it in detail.

Thanks,
Bernadette

This reminds me: we need to reserve some time to discuss 'People' vocab (not in the normal GLD hours) but a separate call. Can you please organise this (on the usual IRC channel and dial-in)? And of course, if anyone else from the WG wants to join us, feel free to do so.
