[ogsa-wg] WS-MetadataExchange status

[Hiro Kishimoto]

Hi Blair,

Thank you very much for having good discussion at the OGSA
Express Authentication Profiles session on Thursday and
follow up on the latest status on MEX.

OGSA-WG has discussed your feedback at our Friday F2F once again
and Duane agreed to re-organize EAP documents to cover Thursday's
discussion. He said they will be available shortly.

Thanks for everyone who came to OGSA-WG sessions at OGF21 and
F2F meeting on Friday. I hope you safe trip back!
