Working Agenda, where we are...add your comments her

This is not final. Some remaining concerns:

1. Does it give OAQPS enough time for feedback etc.LS:added more time for discussion in block 2?
2. I'd like an explicit slot for the Non-AQ folks (Josh Lieberman, Raj Singh).
3. We will stay flexible about adding a few more folks to Wednesday presentations
4. your comment...

Format for Wed Presenters

We'll be contacting proposed presenters, here are proposed talking points for presenters (we'll ask presenters to limit presentations to 10min and address whichever 3 of the following 5 points seem most relevant):

1. What user needs are you especially focused on now?
2. What externally re-usable services you are working to offer now or plan/aspire to offer in the future?
3. What service(s) do you wish were available now from others? What would you do with them?
4. What common infrastructure do you think is most needed to improve flows and utilization of AQ data?
5. What specific barriers to establishing this common infrastructure?

The entire meeting will be accessible remotely. We will use WebEx (or something similar). (Previous discussion was of a video conference; we will use WebEx instead.) Some presenters will use remote access and feedback on the agenda is welcome even if you won't be there in person.
