o	Performance Prediction	(Ariel)
	Version is available for quite some time

-	It was suggested to discuss the requirements during future calls or meetings.
To this end, we might select one of the topics and the corresponding main author briefly explains
the requirements and the classification (whether optional, required etc.). Goal is some discussion
to gauge whether we agree on the classifcation of requirements and identify whether we missed something.
As performance prediction is available, Ariel will try to prepare such a review; maybe at GGF18
otherwise for one of the next telecons.
	
-	The assignment of section is still available from the GridForge Excel sheet:

Scheduler Interoperability:
-	As assigned at the last telecom, Ramin provided 2-3 slides to summarize the discussion on the
possible steps for scheduler interoperability. Goal: These slides can be used as a first starter for
writing a one page summary. We will discuss during GGF18.
Ariel has some open questions for the details of the specific steps which he will sent to the
mailing list. These will be discussed on the next call or the GGF18 session.

-	We got input from Ignacio Martin Llorente , GridWay. Maybe this can be used for further
consideration. Ramin will query wheter Iganicio can attend one of the following telecons or meetings.

-	Similarly, Ramin got an interesting contribution by Mumtaz Siddiqui, Uni Innsbruck, KfW-Grid.
Ramin will query wheter Iganicio can attend one of the following telecons or meetings.

-	Ariel provided an overview for job descriptions from an EU report. It was agreed last time that
every partner submits a short summary about their job description.
This could be done for GGF18 in1-2 slides; e.g. whether it uses JSDL, which terms, which extensions.
Goal: compare the current approaches and analyze for interoperability issues.

Next steps:
o	All partners work on their contribution to the requirements document
o	Prepare slides of used job descriptions by the partners (JSDL?, extensions?, scheduling information?)
	Every partner want to provide a slide for GGF18.
	Ariel presents the available summary from EU report.
o	Ramin gets in contact with Mumtaz and Ignacio for their contribution.

Next telecon:
-	In two weeks, that is the week before GGF.
Ariel will query for suitable timeslot and setup the call.
