* AOB

** GridForge tracker discussion

   - Proposal to use some kind of ID (e.g., "20030911-1") to connect
     issues with the place they refer to in the document(s) and to the
     place where there is more explanation on them, e.g., minutes.
     - Each issue has a unique artifact id; could use it in the
       document(s) to refer to the specific issue, if necessary.
     - Current practice for issues uploaded from minutes is to include
       as part of the explanation the minutes they came
       from. (Andreas)
   - General agreement that tracking resolutions (from meetings) is a
     good idea (in addition to open issues)
   - Proposal to group resolutions in separate tracker
     - It's unclear whether it is preferable to use a separate tracker
       or to use fields within existing trackers to capture this
       information.

   Actions:
     - All should have a look at the trackers and the functionality
       that's there now. In particular the filtering/sorting features.

** Check that the posted time for the teleconf is correct.

   (Hiro checked after the teleconf and it is correct.)

** Gridforge accounts

   People active in the group should create accounts so that issues
   can be assigned to them.

* OGSA document (aka Platform)

  - Document process/preparation for GGF9
    - There is not a lot of time left. Waiting for the teleconf to
      discuss things is too slow. 
    - Agreed to address topics on the list or sub-group teleconfs, and
      use these teleconfs mainly for status updates.
    - GGF9 document submission deadline is Sep. 19. Might have to
      submit an early(incomplete) draft and send/upload an
      (unofficial) update later.

  - The process to set up sub-groups has started.  (See trackers below) 

* Tracker Review 

  Reviewed existing tracker items. 

  (Note: List is sorted by artifact number; use a better sorting next
  time, e.g., priority or group.)

         addressing model and objectives.

         depth but is good enough to talk about at GGF and to put in
         OGSA document.
