Morris, Johannes and all, The 'PGI decision-making guidelines (bylaw)' proposed by Oxana SMIRNOVA could perhaps be useful, and I would accept them. In fact, I am afraid that inside PGI, the main issue is not so much : Who is allowed to vote ? but rather : Who is willing to devote time to : - study and understand the issues ? - provide inputs, diagrams and proposals for Use cases, Issues, Requirements, Specifications, Conformance tests, ... following the best practices of software engineering ? - study, constructively criticize, and improve proposals, with good traceability ? - write down documents presenting the collected (and hopefully agreed) Use cases, Issues, Requirements, Specifications, Conformance tests, ... ? Personally, I have tried to perform the above mentioned work : - Input text for Security : http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc15584 - State Diagram for Job management : http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc15881 - Diagram presenting Useful Official and De facto Standards : http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc15990 - Wiki permitting traceability for each requirement : http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.pgi-wg/wiki/Requirem... - 3 Sequence diagrams describing the relationship between Jobid structure and Endpoint migration : http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc16006 http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc16007 http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc16008 - Glossary and Terms : http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc16036 - 3 EDGI Use cases : In particular http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc16010 - Chart + Explanations for the PGI priorities : http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc16156 - Precise proposal of specification for Publication of Endpoint Security Setup using GLUE 2.0 : http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/go/doc16157 - Proposal of specification for the usage of GLUE 2.0 inside JSDL : http://forge.gridforum.org/sf/wiki/do/viewPage/projects.pgi-wg/wiki/ReqJD3 Let us work with enthusiasm !

Hi all,
please find attached the promised proposal for the PGI decision-making procedures (which looks just like a bylaw now).
It is longer than half a page, but it's basically a formatting matter. If it is formatted without bullets (like the "Quorum" section), it gets shorter. Preamble can be removed as well, if we are into saving ink and paper.
Cheers, Oxana
