 * Agreed we should start by hosting +/- two showcase data sets, one raster, one vector.
 * Agreed we should host these datasets in their original formats first, before adding derivative/value-added versions.

 * Agreed we should host download via HTTP, download via BitTorrent, and OGC Web Service access.
 * Agreed we should peer datasets through [http://www.geotorrent.org/ GeoTorrent]. Noted that they have [http://www.geotorrent.org/faq.php#siteb data format requirements] for hosted data sets that may not meet our needs -- e.g. VMap0. Frank Warmerdam will speak with Richard Orchard of GeoTorrent about this.
-* Schuyler volunteers to sketch out a [http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Geodata_Discovery_Working_Group#Hosting_Plan plan for hosting] two initial datasets, most likely VMap0 and Blue Marble NG (both of which John already has downloaded to the server).

 ** Jo agrees to work out what is already expressed in very common metadata namespaces like Dublin Core and FOAF versus what may need to be expressed in a custom or domain-specific (e.g. GML) namespace (such as representing projection, extent data etc that can be inferred from OGR).
