[egr-rg] RE: [ogsa-wg] Use cases for GGF groups

Tue Dec 7 23:10:36 CST 2004

Dear all in EGR-RG.
Apologies for being absent for two months. I had been extremely busy 
(including work on weekends..)
I am trying to recover from the pace and will try to put more effort 
into egr-rg as well.

Hiro thanks for the OGSA template.

As we discussed in the GGF12, we would need to collect the Usecases.
Ravi: in GGF12 I think you mentioned posting the questionnair to all the 
relevant GGF-{WR}gs.
Could you please do so?

Best regards
Toshi
