Subject: call Wed 9 ET

We will have a call Wed at 9 ET.   A suggested agenda -

1. status document and plans
2. ITU G.800 description -- see attached doc for description  - would be good to have table that maps G.800 and NML/NSI names
3. context description for standard

Some thoughts for context

1 - intent is to support Network Service Requestors and Agents that may interoperate in different infrastructure modes, specifically a Grid or VO mode where requestor knows the topology that of set of networks, and network centric where user makes a request and the network determines how to satisfy it possibly using other collaborating networks

2- difference with GMPLS and ASON  -- how it fits

3 - uses ITU G.800 data plane concepts - may modify names slightly

4-  relation to IETF PCE

5 - relation to PerfSonar and NML

6 - security capabilities and limits
