If anyone is interested in a definition of cloud computing, NIST has 
invested considerable consensus effort. Ties into multiple programs, such as 
SmartGrid etc.

Also, Rex, are you familiar with the core services proposal that the COMCARE 
and the OGC initially developed and that has been extended as part of a 
grant proposal - coordinated by NCOIC? I sure hope the left and right hands 
are shaking on this one!

Cheers

Carl
