1. Review of minutes from the call on 30th July.
   The minutes are at: 
   https://forge.gridforum.org//projects/ogsi-wg/document/Primer_conference_call_minutes_30th__July/en/1/Primer_conference_call_minutes_30th__July.txt 
   No changes were needed. 
   

2. Process/management issues:

   o No new issues. A collision of updates occured just before the call. The cause was understood, but shows the
     procedure is fragile as previously noted.

3. Questions/discussion/new text
    
   o Comments on new text in section 2.2 (Summarising features describing grids and motivating OGSI)
     - The example of comupational grids is ok, but not the whole story.  It should be put in the context
       of other sorts of grids (data grids, for example) - Tim to update.

   o Discussion of handlset parameters in findbyHandle; this issue is unresolved - no input from authors.

 Outstanding assignements

    o Clarify semantics of servicedata/destroy - Tim Banks
    o Section 7 gridService portType- Tim Banks (No input needed, making progress)
