[ogsa-wg] Proposed agenda for June 29th call

Wed Jun 28 02:11:28 CDT 2006

I'm on the road this Thursday and unable to call-in.

The internal authz call-out interface discussion has so far yielded 23
email messages in the last couple of days among David, Von and myself
without any clear decisive stated direction yet - please bear with us
while we struggle to find the right PATH.

-Frank.
