4) Comments on the Architecture

Dave to forward old message about interface description.

Title page: there are three dates, and the "revised" date in the header is automatically updated.

Order of authors.  Need to check with IBM staff that publication is approved?  Allen is OK.  Allen to check with Simon.

OGSA is a trademark.

Acknowledgements should go to the end.

Allen to create tracker artefacts for "open issues" #3, 6, 7, 8, 9 on pages 3-4.

Dave to mail Reagan re SRB.

Scope: exclude sessions?

Correct headings in section 3.8, and section 5.

Section 5.1: remove sentence about data containers.

Maybe remove 5.1.3
 
Allen requested people to pay particular attention to the new section 6.

We should consider where to discuss access patterns and 3rd-party transfer.

Move all references to the end section.
