The Goal is to validate the quality of the specification, e.g. is independent implementation possible.
The Goal is NOT to test compliance of implementations.
The critera for validating the quality of the specification MUST be defined by the group as part of their experimental document, e.g. interoperability, compliance to a test suite, etc.
The document should describe issues raised and how they will be addressed, etc.
Groups MAY create a test scenario.
Groups MUST follow the guidelines spelled out in GFD.1, Section 3.4.2.
One experimental documant MAY cover several specifications (AD descrition).
There is a large burdon on the ADs to drive this process.
+ - The question is getting a balance between brand strength and weight of process.
+ - Targets:
+ - Fill our all slots with productive sessions
+ - Get an understanding of the level & type of participation in WG sessions, e.g. Gather key demographics of the working group attendance
+ - Sufficient visibility for Standards activity for the event as a whole, e.g. in the program, in plenary sessions, on the web pages, "How to register for standards only", ...
+ - Make progress on developing critical specs.
+ - Avoid conflicting with similar Technical sessions across the program, e.g. in the Community Sessions and Globus tracks.
+ - Clarity of registration instructions for Standards participation.

Action Jay & Joel - Done
The EGA TSC recommends the Reference Model WG be carried forward in OGF. It has released documents which can be carried forward into the new organization. It has a defined work plan. There are WG participants expected to continue participating.
The charter of the CPWG is still relevant, but the work done so far needs to be reviewed against other work done in GGF and the industry as a whole. No deliverables exist. There are suggested directions the group could take if it becomes active again, such as evaluating the DMTF SMASH spec, expanding the charter to do bare metal provisioning including network provisioning, and an evaluation of provisioning systems such as XEN and VMware. However, it must be noted there is no specific work plan, nor any identified leaders at this time.
The EGA TSC recommends the Data Provisioning WG be carried forward in OGF. It has a plan for future work and members expected to continue.
SNCG-CG Charter Submitted
The security domain is certainly relevant. It is not clear if this work progressed far enough to identify work specific to Enterprise security concerns. It should be compared to any GGF work in this area and a decision made to merge the work or keep it separate. There are no people currently in this WG.
First, the leadership should review this against GGF work activities to see if it could be merged with an existing GGF WG. But if no complimentary host is found, this WG is still attractive to EGA members and may be attractive to former GGF members, so it is recommended it be retained in OGF.
+ - Qualified Recommendation
Possibly a timing issue. Other things might need to happen before Usage Accounting becomes important.
Could benefit from a careful study of usage metrics.
Probably better as a 'research' group or even something we want the user (and channel) communities to tackle from a requirements standpoint.
Participation by Vendors who serve this area could help to accomplish this faster.
Input from the Telco WG could prove helpful as well
Recommend this WG be chartered as the Enterprise WG in the Enterprise function with the Micro and UBS reps as WG co-chairs.
