3) GGF-15 Session Planning

We are allowed two sessions, one of 45 minutes and one of 90 minutes, unless we have AD approval.

There is an InfoD-WG F2F on the Monday and and OGSA-WG F2F on the Thursday and Friday.

We decided not to have an update session, given that we did one in June and we haven't made huge progress since.  There may be different people attending in Boston than in Chicago, but not massively so given that both meetings are in the USA.

Issues we want to progress:
- Security [With OGSA-WG Security Team, AuthZ]
- Higher-level data transfer discussion (above the point-to-point level: broadcast, transformation) [with Malcolm, InfoD?]
- Streams [with ByteIO, Beth Plale, Bill? BOF?]
- Use Cases 

We decided to use the 45 minute session for Use cases and the 90 minute session for security (60 minutes) and transfer (30 minutes)


4) Activity assignment

Security - Dave to make GGF15 session happen.  Allen to write an overview section on security.  Section authors to add notes to each section.
