I sent this email to Gerd Gendt earlier today but forgot the Author:
line so the cc to the DCWG did not go through.  Sorry about that!

Gerd,

    Happy New Year!  And forgive my late response to your email
requesting session ideas for the May IGS workshop.  I sent an
inquiry to the IGS Data Center WG, including suggestions for a
possible data center-related session.  I did not receive alot
of feedback but what discussions I did have concerned some
proposals you are familiar with regarding changing how we name
data and product files at the data centers.  I believe that
rather than devote an entire session to this topic (and bore
the audience ;), we could combine this discussion with another
session.  We could develop a position paper with the proposal(s),
have an oral presentation on the paper, and then devote a poster
or two that go into more details and give people more time to
digest the concepts.  We may also want to tackle a discussion on
changing compression schemes at the data centers.  Both of these
proposals have far-reaching impacts on not only the users but on
the entire IGS infrastructure.  I would appreciate your thoughts
on this co-session idea.

Regards,
Carey.
