Dear all, Many of you will vividly remember the Levels of Assurance BoF session we held during OGF 19 last month. You were present and/or actively contributed to the discussion, which we are now formalising via the formation of a OGF Research Group (proposed). You are kindly invited to subscribe to the RG BoFs mailing list via http://www.ogf.org/mailman/listinfo/loa-bof (note that to respect your mailbox, you are not subscribed yet but you have to do that yourself!) Once people start subscribing to the list, we can discuss the formal charter and the embedding of the new RG in OGF there in public, and profit from your input. A draft answer to the "Seven Questions" for embedding the group is attached to this mail for your information. -- David Groep ** National Institute for Nuclear and High Energy Physics, PDP/Grid group ** ** Room: H1.56 Phone: +31 20 5922179, PObox 41882, NL-1009DB Amsterdam NL **
