*Discussion*

The group reviewed the draft PIC.edu proposal at
https://wiki.internet2.edu/confluence/display/picwg/pic.edu+Draft+Proposal .
Michael argued that PIC.edu is badly in need of motivating use cases, and 
there
was general agreement. [ACTION] All will review the RTC-AG use cases Jonathan
sent to the list on April 6, and comment on their relevance to PIC.edu. 
Further
suggestions for motivating use cases for PIC.edu are also most welcome.
