Michael,

When I think of OGSA-D I think that a major focus of what data services 
provide is access to data (in a very general sense of access) and your 
second sentence acknowledges this.  Since we care about access to data, 
the movement of data is another key.  So, in the kind of brief summary 
that you are writing, I would tend to change the first sentence to say 
something more like "... which provide for access to data on the grid." 
Obviously not a fully descriptive phrase but I think that it comes closer 
than "distribution of data".

This is being posted to the ACS and OGSA-D group for inter-group 
communication purposes.
ACS needs to be aware of data services as they will impact the ACS 
specification at some point in time.
The ACS specification has a non-normative section for describing 
relationships with other groups/activities.
This is the proposed paragraph for your review - what do you think?

"The OGSA Data Working Group defines the data services which provide for 
distribution of data on the grid.  ACS can utilize protocols being 
specified such as Byte-IO, GridFTP, and possibly Replication.  ACS 
provides an extension point for protocols which allow implementations to 
specify which protocols are supported.  The ACS team has reviewed their 
briefings and draft documents with interest.  Interaction with the OGSA 
Data Working group is expected to increase during the development of the 
next version of this specification."
