Folks,

First, I want to THANK EVERYBODY for their hard work leading up to and including the SC2006 interop demofest! I think we made tremendous progress and I want to continue the momentum inside the BES, JSDL, and HPC Profile working groups!!!!

I propose that we have a conference call on Wed Nov 29 at 8am US Pacific time to discuss what we each learned while we implemented the HPC Profile, and where we as a group go from here. Please let me know if you can make this call (a few people said that Fridays were not good, so we're trying a different day -- but note: this is not necessarily proposed as a weekly call, this is just a "special" call to discuss things while SC is still in our minds).

Rich Ciapala, Chris Smith and I tried to identify the unresolved issues that we either directly encountered or someone raised on the mailing list. We have certainly tried to capture everything but we probably missed a few things. 

Audience	Topic
HPCP WG	Finalize security additions to profile
BES WG	Finalize faults for all operations
BES WG	Limit amount of data that can be returned from GetAttributesDocument
HPCP WG	Tools for which the schemas should work cleanly with
JSDL WG	RangeValue_Type element clarifications ·         If a single min value and a single max value are to be specified, should it be done with Boundary_Type’s or a single Range_Type? ·         I assume Exact takes precedence over any specified Boundary_Type or Range_Type’s since Exact is a MUST and the others are optional.
BES WG	Finalize Fault element’s type for multiple response operations. We changed this from soap:Fault to xsd:anyType for the demo.
HPCP WG	Finalize list of dependent WS-I specs
BES WG	Use of QNAMEs in GetAttributesDocument response
HPCP WG	Data staging support
BES WG	Clarify operations semantics (i.e. TerminateActivity)

 So, please let me know if you can make this call on Wed Nov 29. Also, let's start email discussions on the appropriate mailing lists to attempt to resolve some of these (or at least prioritize these and identify new ones) before the call next Wednesday.

Thanks again -- I think everything's coming together really well!!!
