The document is extremely interesting, and stimulating. I guess that if you'd organize a "hands-on" seminar on this way at some OGF you would fill-up the plenary room. Here following a few issues:
"It should be noted that aspects such as authorisation and authentication are not dealt with in
this document as these issues are orthogonal ones dealt with by other technologies" - (Executive Summary)
Security aspects are not so orthogonal as one might want: a design that does not take into account from the beginning security aspects hardly succeeds to add them later on as a feature. In my opinion your document takes care of security aspects, but simply does not unfolds all the details.
"To support a live migration where there is little or no down-time of the service, the relevant
capabilities (e.g. live migration across sub-nets) would need to be supported by the provider
rather than the specifications." - (Service migration and redeployment)
Obscure, but challenging. Would you mean that this requires internal operation (agreement) between providers more than the provision of uniform APIs?
About Craig's e.mail
One problem concerning virtual networks, and markedly VLANs, is the degree of control and monitoring the final user may have on the virtual networking infrastructure. I'm thinking to legacy Grid infrastructures re-deployed on IaaS, for instance.
Overall, I appreciate the document as is. Thank you for the effort in connecting so many relevant topics.

Dear all,
The DMTF APTS meeting in Boulder, CO last month has been a great a
success [1]. And as one of the outcomes some of the OCCI-wg members
wrote a document which describe how today's Cloud standards (CDMI, OVF
and OCCI) can be used together to create a open Cloud. This document is
now finally ready (Sorry for the delay) and by this email I would ask
for your comments and thoughts on this documents.
Many thanks,
-Thijs
