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. https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/projects/tsc -- Take care: Dr. David Snelling < David . Snelling . UK .
