3) Review of architecture document

Allen has suggested some changes to the discussion of policy in section 2.4.  We agreed to adopt these with an additional remark that we do not specify the negotiation process.

We agreed to change the key for Figure 1 so that it says "service" instead of "data service".  We also need to update the definition of "data service" in the Glossary.

We agreed that the document still needs a more consistent level of detail.

We discussed several possible changes to the Data Access section.  In particular, some of the discussion in this section has wider applicability and could be moved to earlier sections.  Dave to revise Data Access section.

Dave to ask Hiro and David Martin to review the document, advising them that parts are still being worked on.
