[WG-InfoSharing] [projectvrm] proposal for one day Fast Scenario Planning on Info Sharing, May 16 (Sunday)

[Judi Clark]

Thanks Doc,

Our Fast Scenario Development day is not VRM-specific, it's information
sharing-specific. Info sharing underlies VRM and so facilitates further
discussion. I wanted to be clear about focusing expectations.

Info sharing in this instance starts with the user as point of
integration, user having control over their personal datastore, and
voluntarily resharing it for use and services.

If you're able to attend this day on Sunday (before IIW), please bring
your imagination. We will be guiding the process.
