no comments

Ad 4: Charter

It was agreed that the Term "Job Submission Interface" might not exactly say the right thing, since the group will not define an interface (sort of an API) but just an information model. Thus the term will be replaced by "Job Submission Information Model" (JSIM).

First document with the CIM Class definitions of JSIM. A starting point for the discussions could be a document created by the IBM-NCSA activity. Victor will send a pointer to the list.

Second document will describe mappings to LDAP and to XML. For the latter it will not just be a duplication of the CIMXML DtD of DMTF but should rather head towards OGSA requirements, which looks at things as service implementations. Tom agreed to provide some language to clear these points

The first bulletpoint under the may goals was discussed and it was decided to put it under the must list again and rephrase it to make it a kind of roadmap document for further enhancing CIM for Grid Computing. Again the document pointed to by Victor can help as starting point

Ad 5: next telephone conferences

It was decided to have regular calls every other week. Larry wanted to see if GGF phone call facilities could be used.
