RE: [dita] Fw: Proposal for a "DITA for machine industry" subcommittee

I think Chris' note probably bounced because he sent it from a different email
than the one registered in Kavi (). It's possible to set up an
alternate email address by going to the "My Account" page. Chris, let me know if
you help doing this!

Regards,

Mary
