Hi Jen,

Yes, eventually we need to have a system like the ones you describe 
where the agreed subset of information is published.

However, for now we need to start collecting the information on the 
sites taking part in the exercise in a more pragmatic way to enable the 
subgroups to start working. For instance, the data mgmt group needs to 
know which SRMs and gridFTP servers are to be used for interoperability 
tests. I think we need to proceed in parallel here.

Cheers,

-- Erwin
