Psshh -- so much for your claim of not doing any real work. This looks
great! I'll put discussing it on our next Cloud WG meeting.

Mike has some drafted up for cloud at

It'll need a bit more by way of specifics.

Yeah. If something isn't working, do you think the best path is QA->WG
directly, or should it be QA says something to FESCo, FESCo works with WG?

Since parts of this are new to all of us, and other parts new to a lot of

of the responsibilities? That helps put in focus what needs to be done.
