Tuesday, July 21, 1:00 – 3:00pm


Focus on priorities for Spiral 2, particularly first steps in Spiral 2.  

See Ilia’s email, 
As part of Cluster-D Spiral 2 discussions, we would like to get your feedback on the feature roadmap we presented in the past. The attached document contains the table describing the features (as presented earlier). I would like to get your opinions on which of these are 'critical', 'important' and 'not important' from the perspective of your project. Also, this is your opportunity to 'write in' your desirable ORCA features for consideration in Spiral 2. I would hope to see this list with your proposed ratings and changes as one deliverable of Cluster D discussions at GEC5.[[BR]]
