Dear OCCI group, Due to travel, I have missed the past two meetings of the NIST Standards Roadmap group, which has drafted a document in which OCCI should be highlighted. I have followed the activities of the group and made several text and verbal contributions, but have not had time to edit or suggest alterations yet to this NIST document. It is important that we get comments in right away for them to have a chance to be included in the current draft of the document that is to be presented in the upcoming workshop at NIST April 7-8. It may in fact be late to get comments in, but if they are correct, targeted, and formatted for suitable entry into the document, they may still be accepted. Apologies for not having followed this process more closely, but it is basically due to a lack of time. Can I ask you QUICKLY (now, today) to look over the attached 9th draft, make any suggestions for alterations using the attached comment template form, and submit them either directly back to the NIST cc_standards@nist.gov e-mail group or back to me for immediate submission to the group? It is important to respond ASAP if we want to be well-represented in the upcoming NIST document. Thanks, Alan Alan Sill, Ph.D Senior Scientist, High Performance Computing Center Adjunct Professor of Physics, TTU Vice President of Standards, Open Grid Forum ==================================================================== : Alan Sill, Texas Tech University Office: Drane 162, MS 4-1167 : : e-mail: Alan.Sill@ttu.edu ph. 806-742-4350 fax 806-742-4358 : ====================================================================
