Bob, Pedro -
My feeling is that TAP will be a topic of major interest in this interop, with quite a bit of work to review, hence two 90m shared sessions are probably needed.
Including a Xmatch discussion in one of these sessions is possible, but whether there is enough time will depend upon how much we want to discuss. For example, if we discuss only the service architecture and how a Xmatch service would relate to TAP, that would probably be fine, but if we need to get into the details of cross match algorithms, it might require a separate session. We have not had much discussion of the Xmatch issue yet since the TEG began work so it is hard to assess how much time will be required.
