That's fine, but please don't fall under a bus. The process requires that the Area Directors confirm the co-chairs. Just let Ramin and me know when you're ready to make this official. Stephen

I solicited nominations on the mailing list shortly after the WashDC meeting. We received one nomination -- Ming Xu of Microsoft. I believe that everyone is happy with Ming, so I believe that process-wise, it's just a matter of my announcing that he's co-chair.
However, I have been acting as sole chair since WashDC because, frankly, I don't believe that it's truly necessary right now to have another chair. Ming is willing, of course, but I realize that he's busy (esp. right before SC2006), the group has been making good progress, no "issues" have arisen, and I've generally been able to keep up with things, I believe. In other words, yes, I would like a co-chair, eventually, but it's not really an issue at the moment.
OK?

Thanks, Marty. I too have noticed that the SC06 activity is really shaking out interop and tooling issues.
Can you remind me where we're up to with respect to replacing Marvin as co-chair?

Hi Stephen et al,
I can't make this call today, so here's the short note regarding the HPC Profile WG.
The status of the WG is that we have produced our "HPC Basic Profile" document. Our methodology all along was to create this document and then refine it via interop testing. (That is, we believed that certain issues would only appear when we REALLY tried to implement this).
I am very happy to report that by using SC2006 as a "forcing function", our group is making GREAT progress. The gridforge WIKI is being used to keep track of the progress:
http://forge.ggf.org/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.ogsa-hpcp-wg /wiki/HomePage
We are working with OGF organizers to make a brochure for hand-out at SC2006 to advertise this effort.
Honestly, right now, we're focusing all of our group's efforts on this, so I haven't thought that much about OGF19. We'll have a session, but I'm not quite sure what specifically what we'll do (possibly a discussion of a compliance doc for HPC P).
Regards, Marty
