[ogsa-wg] service/resource identifier on the wire?

[Ian Foster]

Dear All:

Frank sent a nice email a while ago making the case for this. I think it's 
really unfortunate that there was no response. This lack of response to 
substantative proposals and questions (except, sometimes, for a response 
that "this was discussed and was not needed") seems to be standard 
operating procedure for WS-Naming and OGSA-BES. I don't think it is the 
right way to work if we want consensus and adoption.

Ian,
