*Discussion*

The group discussed how to move forward with plans for PIC.edu. There was
general agreement that a) there is a shortage of person-hours needed to carry
out this project, and b) before moving forward with an effort to recruit 
PIC.edu
participants, we need to clarify how much support is available from Internet2,
and in particular how much of Jonathan's time is available. [ACTION] Jonathan
will get Ken to clarify the status of PIC.edu and the PIC WG more generally.
Also, [ACTION] Jonathan will find out what's going on with presence in the
Access Grid community, and if there is interest in PIC.edu there.
