1. Comments on the Spec
Ravi send the doc to James and Gavin (from CERN) and responses are due  
in a week. Nobody else had yet commented..

2. Acknowledgements
List of people on the acknowledgements looks fine. The following are  
the list of people:

      James Casey
       Bill Allcock
       Andrew Grimshaw
       Dave Snelling
       Gavin Mccance
       Alex Sim

3. Spec Changes from Steven
Steven tried to implement the spec. Issues in naming were discussed.  
Separation of protocol and data location was discussed. There was a  
general consensus on what Steven suggested and sent mail to the DMI  
list. All other changes steven suggested also received general  
consensus. Steven will post his changes back to gridforge by end of  
the week along with list of acknowledgements. Ravi will then submit to  
the Editor project in gforge.

Steven did not find any ambiguity in the spec while implementing it in  
C# other than the fact that Steven is minting DataEPRs in his  
implementation. HPCP has a file staging spec which is protocol  
agnostic. DMI will have a role when HPCP implementation ships the  
staging to a DMI implementation instead of implementing that  
functionality.
