CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_ Reported by Joyce Reynolds/ISI DISI Minutes The Distributed Information Service Infrastructure Working Group met during the User Services Working Group. The Chair, Chris Weider led the session which included discussion on the current Charter, current deployment and players, available implementations, documents to be produced, and how this group segues into User Services activities.
