Pankaj and Barry will both arrive between 9 and 10am

9am-11am-Focus on PGDSO

-Revise upper level structure of PGDSO (high priority items from 10-13-10)

-Barbara Ambrose (fern evo-devo) from the New York Botanic Garden will join this part of the meeting.

These were moved to be children of whole plant growth stage (PO:0007033) and the term "plant life cycle phase (PO:0028001) was obsoleted for now till we have further discussion on it.

Also, the top class in the ontology is 'plant growth and developmental stage(s)', def'n = The succession of changes leading from the zygote to the mature plant- that is only the sporophytic phase.
