While I do appreciate much of the EMA's efforts, I have been most unhappy by
EMA's unwavering conviction that X.400 is the only technology suitable for
commercial messaging.  This has included efforts to prop up X.400 and keep it
creaking along even when it was obviously the wrong solution for the problem
at hand; and indifference to repeated efforts by the Internet community to
improve interoperability between X.400 and the Internet.  This hardly
qualifies as "removing barriers to global interoperability and connectivity."

I welcome your comments.
