Just a slight correction -- BES has decided to look seriously at using CIM to
model the container, but I don't think we can say with 100% assurance that we
"will" use it.

Also, the main purpose of the teleconference on Tuesday isn't a synchronization
point (that will come later after a decision has in fact been made), but rather
Fred offered the teleconference as a way for the OGSA-BES team to learn more
about CIM and get details that will help the team come to a conclusion about
whether or not CIM is appopriate and if so, how to use it.
