Re: web services policy breakout session at F2F

[bill parducci <bill.parducci@overxeer.com>]

sounds like a great idea to me. i'll work with hal to get this setup as 
a topic for discussion on next thursday's concall (which is pretty much 
dedicated to the scope and scheduling issues of the f2f anyway.)

along those lines i think that it would be helpful for those planning on 
being on the next concall to start internally prioritizing f2f topics so 
that we can figure out how to efficiently run parallel discussions in 
san jose.
