[PT] To circulate progress update on implementation

3. Discussion - planning content for the next version of the spec

Needs more work done for first draft before review, need to decide whether to put in references to declared elements to avoid repetition (i.e. define credentials once, then refer to them later).  Before we decided probably not, but it would be good to have in there if possible.  Perhaps another 1-2 weeks before it goes out for review

Action: [DM] Put up draft specification on OGSA-DMI-WG GridForge when ready

Decide on whether to have call early next week.

4. Planning

OGF31?  No-one can attend this time.  Risk of non-involvement from others - should try and get more people involved.

Smaller specs good, but must be complete.  Must cover enough use cases.

MAA: perhaps worth getting in contact with SRM to re-engage them in DMI.

Action: [SM] To contact dCache and University of Dresden to engage them in DMI

Shahbaz working with OCCI spec, focusing on compute resources.  Data doesn't seem to be covered; how do they represent data requirements? DMI Common could be a good fit.  OCCI currently in public comment, could use that.

Action: [SM] To suggest DMI in OCCI spec public comments

Action: [DM] To have a chat with Jens Jensen about data requirements and DMI, and who else may be interested

Dave should develop DMI without constraints imposed by JSDL.

5. AOB

Action: [STC] Give update to data area manager about status of DMI before OGF31 - 2 slides by March

6. DONM
