This is beginning to take a coherent shape and I hope to distribute it more widely after next week's London meeting. The telcons are useful in resolving issues that arise while writing this straw man. - Is data transfer a service? - Are we transferring data (bits) or information (with some semantic content)? - Can we use the BasicFiles interface for both data and information? - How do we specify data types? - Other issues - Do we have volunteers to write subsections of the document? 5) Wrap up (5 min) AOB DONM - F2F in London, Feb 2nd.
