Re: URIs for quantities and units defined within ISO 80000 and ISO 1000

Dear David Leal,

Many thanks for your interesting message. I do not think that I have been in 
direct contact with ISO/TC 184 before. We do not have a liason yet. I am 
afraid that I have not received an e-mail from Mrs. Saruhashi . However, it 
does not matter now when I have received this e-mail.

I foresee that the harmonized ISO/IEC 80000-series will be completed in 2009 
and then ISO 1000 will be withdrawn.

Please let me know how I can contribute to your interesting work.

Best regards
Anders
