Ben & GALEON,

I would second the motion that we proceed to the second phase through the 
GALEON OGC Network path. Some of the rationale are below:

- GALEON has matured to the point that Networking (beyond just test links) is now a meaningful and desirable goal. - Interaction with other OGC Networks, e.g. GEOSS Services Network (GSN) would be easier - Inclusion of more agencies (domestic and international) in the open GALEON Network would aid OGC protocol acceptance
- The tools and methods offered by OGC to support group interaction in OGC 
Networks are significant

I am sure there are some drawbacks to the Network approach, but I cant think of any. So I would vote for the OGC GALEON Network option.
Regards,

Rudy
