         - https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc13862?nav=1
         Action Items status review (see the bottom of this email)
         Agenda bashing

2) OGSA and EGA reference model (45 min)
>   - No specific OGF policy on unifying EGA and GGF work, but there is
>     an expectation that parties talk to each other
>   - Merging the glossaries? Yes and does not look too difficult
>   - Proposal: maintain the distinction between reference model; and
>     OGSA as (a service oriented) rendering of it;
>     - Is it true, or should it be made true?
>     - As an exercise, what is the specific use case to drive it; need
>       a reason--more than an abstract motivation. No reason just to be
>       consistent.
>     - EMS (or the more restricted HPC Profile) might be a good
>       starting point
>     - Would probably need more than one use case; would also have to
>       think broader than current thinking in OGSA.
>     - Transaction processing kind of environment as one motivation?
>   - Next step: Set up an initial group of people to start a discussion
>     within OGSA. Identify what should be done.
>     - Dave Snelling, Andrew Grimshaw, Tom Maguire
>     - Paul Strong, Alan Clark, Bob Thome
