• Summary
• Maintain the ASDI opt-in model
• Focus on web service catalogs feature catalogs
• User driven applications across multiple CoPs
• Clearer articulation of public/ private/
  research sector roles responsibilities
  (SLAs)
• Mainstreaming (E-govt, Google, socio-economic)
• ICSM to take lead on technical ASDI issues
