	+  Q: what is needed for submission interface beyond DRMAA, BES?
		- The linkage between the different protocols is not clear.
		   Submission could be via DRMAA or BES.
		   A unified super-set for submission is necessary.
		   Could hide negotiation behind it.
		- BES/DRMAA does not sufficient for scheduling, just for submission/starting.
		
- Continuation Philipp
	o Work towards interoperation
	o JSDL subset for interoperablity to be decided by the partners with scheduler
	   solutions.
	o Proposal for Scheduling Description Language (SDL)?
		- Need for a new WG? RGs are not supposed to create specs.
		- Decision: Go for a BOF at OGF22
	o Continuation of Grid scheduling requirements document?
		- Decision: Finalise it, typical members agree to spend the time. Necessary to
                     kick everyone to actually do it. If no final draft until OGF 22, discontinue.
