Dear OGF participants,

Please see the call for participation in the US NIST and IEEE combined Federated Cloud effort. You may have seen the message earlier from our immediate past President Craig Lee regarding this effort; if not, please look back in your email stream for details.

It would be good to have good engagement from OGF work groups and generally interested parties in this effort, which is a good match to OGF’s traditional interests, alignment, and capabilities.

Please let us know if you would like additional information.
