For the vision development discussion: Having James as the moderator / victim plus wide audience participation should work out well. 

Continue to put clarifying ideas on this ML for each of the many topics.  This will give us all more background and better insight for the F2F discussion to be had. 

I will passing your feedback to the various Openstack groups that these topics represent such as Neutron, Technical Committee, DefCore Committee, and so on. Thanks to everyone for participating. This should give all of us a head start on the summit.
