Pre Jan 10th meeting phone conference
Date: Monday, December 10, 2001 4 PM

Present: Chip, Torre, Doug, Andy, Mike, Ruth, Peter, Alain

Chip reported from Ian Bird that the HRM  PPDG document should be postable
this week probably.  Including discussions with EDG.

Mike - Ian and Ann say it will be a few days after Christmas 28th for
posting of Giggle document.

Mike  and Reagan's GridFTP/SRB email discussion. Can we  post it - and
previous discussions earlier this year - as a PPDG Discussion Topic. It may
be partly  an architectural issue?.Also, what is the relationship of this
with the common web services on top of SRB and JASMine. So far these are areas 
of ongoing discussion without PPDG wide consensus.

Clarification of Globus Reliable File transfer statement from Q2 Quarterly
report http://www.ppdg.net/docs/ppdg_qtrly_apr-jun-01-rev.doc which mentions
"replica catalog management"::   This component is a CS-6 activity not a
CS-5 activity. It does not cross the boundary. The catalog referred to is
local to the service/component  from an interface/architectural point of
view, it may be transient or persistent; it may be implemented as a common
component with the replica catalog, but its schema and dependencies can be
discussed separately.   (I put this in because I am not at all sure I
believe it!!)

We discussed the DGRA document and some potential input to it for the Jan
10th meeting. This will be summarized in an email to the authors in the next
week - input is welcomed!

Ruth would like a small phone con on the second of the discussion sessions:
Errors,  Status, Notification, Asynchrony, with Mike, Chip and Doug towards
the end of this week. Peter will see if Doug is available and if Wisconsin
can offload Mike and facilitate this session.

We reviewed again that the Jan 10th agenda is very tight, parallel sessions
don't work so well... more thought is needed.

Chip checked that  people are prepared to accommodate $25 for dinner.

Next weeks phone con will be at 4 pm EST, 3 pm CST, 1 pm PST. This overlaps
with the CMS Test bed phone con and people are prepared to accommodate this.
The agenda will be the WP2 design document and any related information
people come up with.
