I apologize for the lack of followthrough since our meeting in Athens. I know how frustrating it is to build good momentum and then have nothing happen as planned/hoped. Unfortunately, my father passed away the week after I got back from Athens and, needless to say, that put a serious dent in my plans and time. I have requested a session for GGF17 in Tokyo, and it is my sincerest hope that we will have made some meaningful progress on answering the comments well before then. If you are interested in helping move this process forward, the comments are all available on gridforge. Feel free to post responses there, or cut & paste the comment into an email to ur-wg@gridforum.org, and post a response to the mailing list. As soon as I get some breathing room in my schedule, I'll give UR-WG the attention I committed to in Athens. Thanks for your understanding and patience.
