Dear Sylvain,

as you suggested me few weeks ago, I created the blueprint 
(https://blueprints.launchpad.net/blazar/+spec/fair-share-lease) and I'd 
like to start a discussion.
I will be in Paris the next week at the OpenStack Summit, so it would be 
nice to talk with you and the BLAZAR team about my proposal in person.
What do you think?

thanks in advance,
Cheers,
Lisa
