3) Progress Report.

Dave has corrected a corrupt version of scenarios document on GridForge. 

We've been invited to talk at the Data Area meeting on Monday at OGF19.  The Area Directors  suggest that our document is used as a basis for a gap analysis.

Yin Chen, one of Dave's RA, has commented on the replication chapters and Dave has forwarded these comments to Allen.  We agreed that major issues should be discussed on the mailing list.  Dave proposed that the scenarios document should include a scenario where the interface fronts a proprietary system.

Patrick Dentressangle has suggested that we add status information for replication channels.


4) OGF planning

Allen will present our work at the data area meeting at 6pm on Monday.  

We will touch base at lunch (12:30) on Tuesday (if not before).
