All, w.r.t. the next F2F I will be in California that week - but at Yosemite with my family. So will miss the F2F. A
3) April F2F planning (30)
Decide the main topics for the April F2F agenda. Main candidates are: 1) Information Modeling 2) OGSA EMS Scenarios
(Ideally the above should include JSDL-WG, BES-WG, *RSS-WG* and CDDLM-WG participants.)
Do the following design teams/topics require time? - Data - Naming (WS-Name, WS-Directory etc) - Security
The following teams have said they do not plan to meet at this F2F: - OGSA-HPC design team (Marvin cannot make it)
Note that at the GGF16 F2F we said:
Went through a series of straw polls, not reproduced here with the following results: - A four day meeting - April, Tuesday-Friday (4/4-7) are the best dates - San Francisco preferred over London by a small difference - And many people expressed a desire to reconsider
- Agreed that the choice of venue should be reconsidered after fixing the agenda and based on the availability of the people required by the agenda
- Agreed to make a final decision by March 6 to allow sufficient time to book flights etc.
and
Consensus (7 against 3) to NOT having a one-day F2F at GGF17.
