I can assure you that we'll consider all of your requirements. We are
almost finishing the revision and consolidation of main entities. The
computing entities to which your use cases apply have not yet been
reviewed for consolidation. We plan to invest most of the time in
January/February on them in order to review vs. use cases. OGF 22 is at
the end of February therefore we have enough time, though we cannot
relax too much.
I hope you'll be able to actively participate in the Jan/Feb telecons.
Please, let me know about your time constraints for planning.
Cheers, Sergio
