Remote Instrumentation & Data Visualizations Working Group

[Kim Owen <>]

James and all - 

thanks James, for pulling together these questions - 

All of your questions look relevant  - it would give us a chance to confirm 
the information they provided in the survey.

And, if our next step/request to this group is to invite them to participate 
in a pilot project, could we work to craft a more detailed vision of that 
pilot, then share it with these folks and invite them to participate? we 
could guide the discussion so they make sure to address what they feel they 
can/cannot do within the pilot or beyond. 

just my two cents - once we have their confirmation they will participate in 
the pilot, that will drive the next steps for this committee.

??

thanks again
KO
