David,

This addition is not accurate. There have been some changes in the focus of the Enterprise area, and while EGF and SN-CG focus on requirments, it would be useful to add

"The requirements are gathered from various requirements  
gathering groups such as the Enterprise Grid Requirements Research  
Group (EGR-RG) or the Storage Networking Community Group (SN-CG),  
or the Telco Community Group. Each of these groups meets to capture  
requirements that are particular that group. The Enterprise Area has 
also hosted a series of workshops by industry that focus more on issues
and challenges facing specific verticals, such as financial services,
pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, autos and aerospace. These efforts identify
problems or issues as adopters move to scale their use of Grids or link them
more closely to the data center."

<<<It would be helpful for the TSC to note that there has been a shift in the Enterprise program to
move away from collecting requirements or focusing on how vertical users of Grids raise issues related to
standards. The new focus is to employ vertical-oriented workshops to define the key issues facing end-users.
The focus includes an effort to organize vertical-specific meetings at OGF and in other settings that help focus
these issues on areas that experts from OGF and the end-users can begin to address.>>>

This is very different from the effort at OGF 18 and 19.

Dear David,

I just read the document "draft-ogf-tsc-strategy-1.0".
I would suggest to include in section 3 (Technical Strategy  
Alignment Process)

"...The requirements are gathered from various requirements

Group (EGR-RG) or the Storage Networking Community Group (SN-CG),  
or the Telco Community Group. Each of these groups meets to capture

also the PNPA-RG (Particle and Nuclear Physics Applications RG),  
since this is, among others, exactly the role and purpose of this  
RG, to gather requirements from the HENP community and submit it to  
OGF.

Thank you very much.

best regards and see you at next OGF,

Kilian Schwarz
