*Discussion*

Ken Klingenstein has advised that the launch of PIC.edu be delayed until plans
for the expected Internet2/NLR merger have been finalized. There was general
agreement with this approach. This will shift the focus of PIC's Wednesday,
April 25 discussion at the Member Meeting
(events.internet2.edu/2007/spring-mm/sessionDetails.cfm?session=3186&event=267)
away from PIC.edu deployment planning, and toward discussion of the use
cases at https://wiki.internet2.edu/confluence/display/picwg/PIC+Use+Cases

[ACTION] Jonathan will set up voice access to the PIC MM session, and send the
dial-in info to 


There will be no PIC conference call on Thursday, April 26. The Thursday, May 
3
conference call will include a recap of the discussion at the MM.
