[Pgi-wg] No PGI TelCon today

[Morris Riedel]

Dear PGI team,

  unfortunately all the chairs are not available today as well as some active members of the group.

Therefore, we continue the state model discussion next week.

With kind regards,
Morris

@Andrew: I know all the vacation plans from the most people but not yours - any vacation plans for the next weeks as well?
