The OGSA-Data WG has done excellent work, both in leading a broad review of the Data Area and in producing the OGSA Data Architecture document which becomes part of the OGSA canon.  The architecture document completes the major work item of the OGSA-Data WG.  OGF groups are expected to close when their work is finished, so Erwin and I propose closing OGSA-Data and thanking the group for a job well done.

Unless there is a strong consensus to extend the OGSA-Data WG, we will close it before OGF23.
