Dennis correctly points out hat we have more than adequate representation
from the Alliance, et al, so inviting you to participate is a genuine
attempt to broaden the representation, and we would be delighted if
you could take the time to do this. (Howeve, as I am trying to work several
jobs I (and my wife) know that this may not be practical.)

As to DOD/MOD/MSRCs, I do not know this community at all.
The NASA person who is involved with this has suggested 

For DOD - MSRC representation I suggest Mr Steven Jones, Computer
Scientist at ERDC-MSRC in Vicksberg Mississippi.
but I suspect that this suggestion is not necessarily broadly based.

Ginny To (Tu??) I have spoken with, but that is all that I know
about her. I did give a talk last summer in Monterey to the DOD/MSRC/MOD
folks, and my impression was that she was not a "key" player in the
"grand scheme" of things.

However, as I said, I do not know this community.

I think it looks funny to have two people for Portals.

I was more trying to point out need to relate to work in this area
to give proper context for other WG's if nothing else.
As a random example from an earlier email I answered tonight, you
could conside "event services" for Grids based solely on middle ware
and back-end issues. However if you think about portals, you (to be precise I)
note that events services need to be integrated with client services
like collaboration which are supported by federated events. Thus
thinking about "complete architecture" gives insight to help deliberations
which otherwise could miss key issues.
Thus I was suggesting a working group in the portal area.

Politically I believe best strategy for DoD representative is to ask either John Grosch
(government PET lead) or Charlie Bender (Academic lead)
My choice would be Ginny To (HPTi/ARL)

I apologize for missing Grid Forum. I have been fully occupied with a set of
meetings on Education (Portals).
