All, My two cents worth. First, I did not think the documents were hard to understand, though the fourth document on the CREAM architecture did not make recommendations rather documented an implementation. I think most of the proposals can be accommodated rather easily within the scope and spirit of the original BES spec. Second, if I were one of the original authors of the documents (which I am not), I would rather discuss the issues before spending the time to write up something formal. That said, if something formal is desired, by all means. Third, I'm not going to lose any sleep over canceling a telecom - as long as we make good progress the following week. So, are we canceled, or are we go.

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.
