Hi Moreno,
Currently I am still confused, are you (PGI co-chairs) suggesting that we need a completely new spec or just a document that gives an outline of where the currently specifications are deficient??
The starting point is the second one you mention: deciding whether these deficiencies (motivated by actual requirements from production grids infrastructures) can be filled with brand new specifications/profiles, or using a suitable combination of existing specifications/profiles (or a mix of the two approaches) will follow. I have the following three steps in mind: 1) gather the "original" set of requirements which motivated the creation of the PGI WG. These were the requirements implied in the CERN meeting notes, which are hard to understand in their current form; 2) the original set of requirements is integrated with additional inputs coming from the other PGI participants; 3) starting from that, we can decide whether a combination of existing specifications/profiles can satisfy these requirements, or new profiles or brand new specifications are needed instead.
