It seems to me that the bulk of the technical discussion should be in the
VOQL sessions since this is where the development has been up to this point
and since ADQL and SkyNode are closely linked. This will provide enough
time to look in detail at experience with trial implementations and the
details of ADQL. We should then have a session in the DAL WG to discuss
SkyNode from the DAL perspective and start to take a look at the issues
of merging ADQL capabilities into DAL services. Probably this will then
become a major focus of DAL for the next year. VOQL precedes DAL in the
agenda so this should work out well. Does that sound reasonable? Doug
