hello Rosario, UR and RUS team: I totally agree on the idea to have to a separate session on aggregation usage record on OGF 23. However, I am afraid that i cannot attend OGF 23 because my visa in UK will be expired at the end of June. I need to extend my visa first which can only be submitted to home office at the beginning of June. So I don't have time to apply visa to spain. That's why i delayed email you back after initial contact to spain consulate to figure out possibility to put my situation in a special case. There is one possiblity which is apply visa from my home country, china. But i might take extra fees to arrange the trip and visa appointment. I don't think we got enough funds to do that. So what i can do is prepration a slide and ask donal to present it. Alternatively we can put it off until OGF 24. I think the most important thing to UR working group is to get feedbacks for UR 1.0 and experienced implementation and requirements on both job and aggregate/summary usage representation. How do you think? regards! X.

I've included it again, if you're not on the RUS mailing list you might want to join it, could be interesting also from your point of view.
I think it would be a good idea to have a UR-WG session dedicated to this aggregate usage record (or summary usage record, that would be one of the things to decide) to present the current proposal, discuss it and get some initial work done towards a draft specification for public comments. What do you think about this idea?
I think that sounds like a fine idea, and encourage you to book the session. :-) There'll need to be a (single) session for non-Aggregate UR-WG business too.
I wanted to book it, but unfortuntely I'm having bureaucratic problems (with my new contract that will arrive late, maybe too late to attend OGF 23 without having to take the money from my private bank account :o), so I don't know yet if I can personally attend. But maybe Xiaoyu can organize a session on the AUR (after all its his baby even if with some helo from others :o) and I will gladly help if I should be able to win the fight against the bureaucratic wind mills ... If I remember well sessions can be booked until this friday, at least I hope it's not yet too late. If it is, I'm sorry, but I couldn't book a session not even knowing if I will be able to organize it. Cheers, Rosario.
Donal.
