Action item list on wiki (was Re: [ogsa-wg] OGSA Teleconference (August 17))

[Hiro Kishimoto]

Hi Andreas and Ravi,

I think OGSA-WG should preserve a delicate balance between
light & doable process and precise discussion record which
avoids repeated arguments.

I agree with Andreas to use current very light-weight AIs
maintenance process.

WRT. resolutions Ravi mentioned, we may create new wiki
pages to keep resolutions if we have volunteers.

Thanks,
----
