Sorry to add to the noise - wasn't trying to be facetious, it just  
comes naturally.  The WG wiki seemed pretty cut and dried about a  
closed membership policy.  Glad to hear that ain't so.

In any event, VOEvent remains deeply interested in developing and  
using IVOA semantic tools in our aggressively pragmatic workflow.  I  
don't believe Rick will be joining us in the UK.  Is there somebody  
else who would like to present the evolving IVOA world view regarding  
vocabularies at either the BoF or InterOp session?
