Not all items have #s and not clear which items were subsidiary to other items. Some groups (commercial) suggested that federation do this to add credibility. Section 2 – value add providers had most comments.

Strengthened if it was augmented through exemplar members –reference implementation or examples. Chris – work back to clusters to annotate this tying resources and examples together. Steve Berrick – Version pushed to public website. Opportunity for other groups to reference. Need way to cite and push to website. Chris – official thing on website valuable for reputation. Karl – periodic bake-out version of this very useful. Carol – The guidelines could be preserved in ESIP Commons. <br>
