Dear All,

at the upcoming Global Grid Forum meeting in Chicago (5-8 Oct 2003) - see www.ggf.org - there will be a Birds of a Feather session which starts of the process of forming a Astronomy Research Group at the GGF. I attach the draft charter to this message.

This will give the Astro and IVOA VO communities a chance to input astro requirements into the 'grid' standards process.

I would encourage those of you interested in this area to aim to attend this GGF meeting. Hope to see you there. (Note that early registration closes sept 26.)

Please forward this message to those that may be interested.

Yours

Nic Walton
