Breakout groups and volunteers to take notes

[Matt Jones]

I think a focus on GUIDs for ecological and environmental montitoring
and experimental data would be good.  Ricardo wrote to me about this
topic before but I was unable to respond at the time.  Nevertheless, I
would be happy to participate in such a group, and even take some
responsibility if others are interested.  Anyone else interested in this
topic?
