RE: Whither the RDDP WG

Jim,
  The collective operations or creating atomics is an
interesting thing that does not have to wait till next
year. We can start doing some definitions and
discussions on them right now and start drafting some
thoughts on paper.
  As far as enhancements to iSCSI/NFS is concerned
some more learning and understanding to required to
identify the bottlenecks.
  Does that make sense?

Thanks
SG
