[tsc] Draft 0.1 of the technical Strategy Document.

[Geoffrey Fox]

Here is a quick comment from the "owner of pen"
Looking at table 1, it seems to me that it might be better
to present as current emphasis (adding OGSA-DAI -- I am not
certain why this is left out) and discuss how we add
standards work to meet industry needs. It reads a little like
a fixed agenda at moment and thats fine if Industry requests
this agenda but not so good if board requests additional
areas of emphasis.

Putting on my "eScience hat", I would suggest that OGF can offer
more than standards to Industry. We can also offer the world's experts
to guide strategy.
For example, I just spent a day and a half with a group from one of
the Big Pharma companies. This group has already fully adopted
web services but for moment at least new standards are not their priority
(they view field as still experimental) but rather Grid strategy for
knowledge management.
I would suggest adopting a broader view in document encompassing all OGF 
functions
(standards, enterprise, eScience)
