[Pgi-wg] modified plan for jobmanagement discussions

[Andrew Grimshaw]

All,
My two cents worth.

First, I did not think the documents were hard to understand, though the
fourth document on the CREAM architecture did not make recommendations
rather documented an implementation. I think most of the proposals can be
accommodated rather easily within the scope and spirit of the original BES
spec. 

Second, if I were one of the original authors of the documents (which I am
not), I would rather discuss the issues before spending the time to write up
something formal. That said, if something formal is desired, by all means.

Third, I'm not going to lose any sleep over canceling a telecom - as long as
we make good progress the following week. 

So, are we canceled, or are we go.

The starting point is the second one you mention: deciding whether these 
deficiencies (motivated by actual requirements from production grids 
infrastructures) can be filled with brand new specifications/profiles, 
or using a suitable combination of existing specifications/profiles (or 
a mix of the two approaches) will follow.

I have the following three steps in mind: 1) gather the "original" set 
of requirements which motivated the creation of the PGI WG. These were 
the requirements implied in the CERN meeting notes, which are hard to 
understand in their current form; 2) the original set of requirements is 
integrated with additional inputs coming from the other PGI 
participants; 3) starting from that, we can decide whether a combination 
of existing specifications/profiles can satisfy these requirements, or 
new profiles or brand new specifications are needed instead.

Moreno.
