<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Good point, David. The
sense I’m getting is that February would work a bit better anyway; I’m
tentatively thinking of February 10-12. Let’s bring this up again
in a couple of weeks when we all know a little more about how the
implementations are going.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

good to me. I don’t know that part of the world very well –
which would likely be more convenient for everybody? Would entry to GSFC

flip a coin?<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>The email thread I’m starting here is mainly for Tim,
Pat, and David, but I thought I’d send at least the initial message to
the WG so everybody knows where we are.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Which is: at this point we’ve gotten through the
initial steps of interoperability testing between the JPL and GSFC
implementations and also (via Internet) between the JPL and MSFC
implementations. Our intent has been to get together for a few days of
intensive, face-to-face interoperability testing among all three
implementations, with the aim of working through all of David’s test plan
and being able to report at the end of March that we have got interoperating
implementations and are ready for a final Agency review of the spec. I
hoped, tentatively, that we might be ready for this at some time in
January. Pat and Tim, how do you feel about that? Should we aim for
early February instead?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>And what’s the best venue for this? I am pretty
sure that this kind of testing goes better if we are collocated, operating over
a tabletop LAN switch. That means that most of us must travel, though; is
that a problem? My thought has been that we’d minimize travel costs
by converging on GSFC, since all the rest of us should have access to direct
(hopefully inexpensive) flights into Dulles or BWI, but I am open to other
suggestions. And David, even though you wouldn’t have an
implementation to run in this exercise, would you be able to join us as test
conductor?<o:p></o:p></p>
