Some of the topics we have to deliver/discuss for next GGF
are, amongst others, 

  - requirement doc (we are supposed to have a draft by next
    GGF)
  - Strawman (should be stabilizing by now - at least
    feedback is coming more slowly, and implementations are
    progressing)
  - mapping the Strawman to Use Cases (we should make sure
    that some of the UC authors are present, and prepare the
    mappings for those UCs).

There is probably more, but that would make three distinct
sessions.  What do others think?

We should make that part of the use case session, possibly
as intro, and show off what we have in terms of cookbook,
implementation etc.  Does it sound reasonable to reserve
30min for that?  That would leave one hour for two or three
use cases in detail, which sounds about right.  The target
audience would be approximately the same I think, and
distinct from the two document sessions.

1 + 1 = 2! :-)  Anybody else?

Thanks, Andre.
