VO or VObs

[Doug Tody]

The convention for nearly 5 years now within astronomy is that VO means
Virtual Observatory.  Of course within the Grid community it also means
virtual organization, but this is much the same concept merely generalized
to the broader world.  I think we should stick with VO.
