    • Bruce will share a template for the conflict-of-interest matrix
    • Peter: for time being please use the [oor-forum] mailing list (caption it with [nsf07061-proposal]) as the working platform, and only use the Friday calls for sync-up purposes (don't wait till Friday to do the work) ... a separate (password protected) list - [oor-nsf07061] - will be created for use by the proposal team
    • Leo: suggest everyone writes up their own "activities" as well as "reasons and rationale (relative to their contribution)" that they will be contributing ... that should form the basis of the 7-page description, which is the key portion of the prelim-proposal
    • Bruce: we need a vision and how we can see this work (repository) can be sustained
      • Frank: sustainability plan will be important ... expecting real data collections (on top of metadata and ontology) ... pick two areas as examples? (not to be too narrow)
