Thank you. I will plan on attending the call. Andreas Savva wrote:
Please attend the OGSA-WG call. Participation is open.
As additional background, at the last OGSA F2F (just before SC06) there was a decision to set up a design team to research workflow issues before deciding what kind of normative work should be undertaken, and in which group. There is also a session planned for this for OGF19.

All,
Steve McGough and I were asked to prepare a discussion around workflow for the telecom tomorrow. Attached is a short slide deck and some XML examples – to be explained during the call.
I have another meeting in which I am presenting that runs from 7-9 am eastern, so will miss the opening of the OGSA call. If for some reason I am late, Mark can present.
