Sorry, I'm not part of the Steering committee, but I'm very interested in understanding the principles. I would prefer Open Source solutions like Alfresco over Google Apps for Document Management System. Obviously with the respective security requirements. If it's in an internal network or on Amazon, I don't really see the difference, why does this concern you? or does this really concern you? I mean if it's in the home of someone, that will concern me, but if it's running on Amazon or some other Cloud provider, what is the problem? Wouldn't you prefer to use an OSS solution than Google Apps?
