Is there a need for the OCCI-WG or its members and participants (or a community group focused on OCCI implementations) to meet at CLOSER 2016? OGF could pay for meeting rooms and.or offer a small co-sponsorship of the conference to cover the reasonable costs of such a meeting if so. We don’t have a lot of money for such things and try to spend it carefully, but meetings of OGF groups that are well attended at topical conference is one way that we try to use it and is possible under special circumstances. Given the pending release of OCCI 1.2, I think that a meeting on OCCI 1.2 implementations would be well in scope and is something that we can consider.

I would propose an official OCCI discussion to be announced during this session. I have no doubt such discussion will appear informally during the conference but for funding/administrative purpose, it would greatly help to have it officially announced, and maybe let some people join who could not otherwise.
