I do plan to attend this meeting.  Your general schedule breakdown looks 
good to me.  A couple of questions of clarification...

  o  I'm unsure what "Registering applications" refers to; is this 
     the CEA model?  (We should definitely hear about this.)

  o  "other Registry extensions/amendments":  do you see this being mainly 
     in the form of extensions/amendments to schemas, or might it include 
     interface and architecture issues?  

Here are some specific things I think we need to talk about and can be fit 
into your general categories:

  Data Model Stuff:
    *  Move standardization process forward for the VOResource core 
          schema.  
    *  Integration of STC into the VODataService schema
    *  Updating the VORegistry schema to support the Registry Interface 
          spec.  
  Registry Interface:
    *  Remaining issues with RI spec before presentation as PR

All of these items require a certain amount of prep work to happen on the 
list ahead of time.  For example, Kevin & I have been making another pass 
at the RI spec; we'll bring up some issues for discussion on the list 
soon.  I'm also preparing some documents on VOResource necessary for 
moving the standardization process forward.

I would like to attend the VOQL session.  Our adoption of ADQL for 
querying registries last year required some minor changes to the ADQL 
spec; it would be good to keep a connection going between our groups as 
these standards progress.
