David,
to my understanding the technical roadmap in Table 1 is still valid for Compute.
JSDL-WG: - has spec 1.0 published which is already in use in some projects. - extensions to 1.0 and the scope for V2.0 are under discussion. I am not aware of a timeline for delivering these in the next 12 months. - HPCP revised it for their use case.
OGSA-BES: - elaborated draft for the spec is available. - there will probably still be some discussion until a last call and formal submission to the editor.
HPC-Profile: - you are aware of the current developments for SC06. Thus, the current roadmap seems appropriate.
Any other group in Compute:
- OGSA-RSS: first draft available. However, the discussion on it is still limited. Not many people are involved in the group work. Therefore, I am reluctant to include dates for specs in the roadmap. The understanding is that people involved in OGSA-BES will have more time for OGS-RSS after BES draft is complete.
- GSA-RG: is a research group dealing with interoperability of Grid schedulers. As an RG it is not expected to produce specs.
- GRAAP-WG: We included you in the discussion on the WS-Agreement draft. The draft is in an elaborated state that was close to publication and there are already people working on implementations. The spec seems quite important for several groups that deal with resource reservations or SLAs. However, after we pushed them back to public comment, it seems problematic to request reliable milestones for spec adoption. If you think it is essential to include it, we could query the chairs but this might require some more discussion.
These are all groups in the Compute Area. Thus, the current table in the roadmap doc seems quite appropriate. Maybe Stephen has some additional comments.

Ramin and Stephen,
This has been an outstanding request to all ADs for some time now, so I am sending personal reminders to all AD's. I need you to look at the roadmap table in here and correct the entries for specs in your area. Also, if you have additional details on each, such as a list of those companies/orgs that have committed to implementation by a certain time, that would help as well. Please aim for the end of the month, as I know you probably need to contact chairs.
Just send you responses in email, I'll integrate them into the document.
Thanks. -- Take care:
