Peter-

I commend you and your collaborators on putting together a very good  
starting point for discussing use cases.  Many thanks for taking the  
time to do this.

I'd like to suggest adding a couple of post-mortem stages to explore  
some additional capabilities the facility will need to support.  I  
have two threads in mind: first, the configuration, collection,  
validation, and publication of measured data and, second, the  
documentation, publication, and maintenance of experimental software  
for reuse.

Both of these functions are important parts of how GENI can support  
research and identifying where standard tools and facility-supported  
services will be needed is important for gauging the work ahead.

Best regards,

--aaron
