Here is a quick comment from the "owner of pen"
Looking at table 1, it seems to me that it might be better
to present as current emphasis (adding OGSA-DAI -- I am not
certain why this is left out) and discuss how we add
standards work to meet industry needs. It reads a little like
a fixed agenda at moment and thats fine if Industry requests
this agenda but not so good if board requests additional
areas of emphasis.
Putting on my "eScience hat", I would suggest that OGF can offer
more than standards to Industry. We can also offer the world's experts
to guide strategy.
For example, I just spent a day and a half with a group from one of
the Big Pharma companies. This group has already fully adopted
web services but for moment at least new standards are not their
priority
(they view field as still experimental) but rather Grid strategy for
knowledge management.
I would suggest adopting a broader view in document encompassing all
OGF functions
(standards, enterprise, eScience)

Folks,
Here is the initial draft I promised last week based on our agreement
around the outline. Sorry for the slight delay, I had no network access
over the weekend. Here is the todo list:
1) Tuesday I go on Holiday and will probably not have email access, but
you never know.
2) Geoffery has the pen, so send all change suggestions to the list and
let Geoffery add them to the document.
3) There are outstanding actions (highlighted in yellow in the
document) for Steven and Chris. Send text to Geoffery via the list.
4) This document will be presented to the BoD on the 24th. Geoffery:
Make sure Mark L has the latest version on Wednesday night!
5) The following is the status section for this document:
This is a DRAFT document. The contents at this time DO NOT yet reflect
the consensus view of the Technical Strategy Committee. It is being
provided to gain input and feedback with respect to the structure and
type of content, e.g. is this document fit for purpose? Feedback on the
technical content is NOT expected at this early stage of development.
Eventually, distribution will be unlimited, but for the time being,
distribution is limited to the Technical Strategy Committee (TSC), the
Board of Directors (BoD), and the Grid Forum Steering Group (GFSG).
6) Mark PLEASE make sure the BoD read this paragraph at least. I am not
happy showing documents outside of any group with so little time to
generate consensus.
7) Mark also lead the BoD to provide comments as requested, e.g. wrt
fit for purpose rather than technical content. The later needs more
time.
There is now a GF project for the TSC. I have put the document under
Drafts and attached it here. In future, let's try to limit attachments.
