* OGSA Roadmap review

  - Chris has uploaded an edited version of the Roadmap
    document. Edits mainly to bring it up to date and to make it less
    dependent on developments relating to other specifications.
    - Also added information modeling documents; deleted obsolete
      entries, etc;
    - Consensus that these are good edits.

  - Is the Information Modeling document intended to be normative or
    not?
    - If it is intended to summarize what is described normatively in
      other documents then it should be non-normative.
    - Ellen's main concern is with making sure it can be implemented
      and can also be used by other bodies. In that sense a normative
      document may be better.
    - Agreed to revisit the issue of document type in a larger group;
      it is not critical at this point.

  - It is not necessary to capitalize "Service Oriented Architecture"
  - Is it important to change "Global Grid Forum" to "Open Grid
    Forum"? 
    - Agreed to leave it for later; guidelines on what to do (e.g.,
      copyright notices should say available soon).

  - Delete "Informational Profile" section? 
    - Agreed to leave as is since this is a category defined in the
      Profile Definition.

  - Chapter 7 - Liaisons - needs updating
    - Review and confirm assignments; is all the work listed here
      still current?
    - Ellen will provide some updated material to Chris.
    - Update EGA connection; what happens to the EGA TCs and what is
      the relation of that work with OGSA?
      - There is call scheduled with some members of the EGA TC
        (reference model) next week and this question could be raised
        there.
    - SCRM description also needs update. The best person to talk is
      Hiro.

  - Chapter 8: Also need to contact the open source projects again and
    confirm that the paragraphs describing their activities are
    accurate.

  - Mike will contact Keisuke Fukui and update the ACS entry.

  - Why is the WSRF BP listed in the Appendix on the wiki?
    - It was one of Hiro's suggestions but it is not clear (nobody
      could recall) what the main motivation for this was. It was not
      just that the document was published already.

  - How should already published documents with ongoing revisions be
    treated?
    - One idea is to include the published version in the table of
      each document section together with the work-in-progress.

  - The official schedule for the Roadmap 1.1 was to submit it for
    public comment by GGF18. It will likely slip, but the plan is
    still to submit it to the Editor in September.

  - There is a bi-weekly call (Wednesdays). Interested people are
    welcome to join.

  - How are referenced specification updates handled? Should
    individual contributors use the spreadsheet?
    - The spreadsheet is still used. Andrew Wang is working on moving
      it to a relational db.
    - Individuals should send updates to Dona / Chris who will update
      the spreadsheet
