[pgs-rg] GGF16 (Athens) Activities?

[Laura F McGinnis]

Real life is interfering with extracurriculars for me right now, so I 
apologize for not getting GGF15 materials poster in a more timely manner. 
But...GGF16 planning is already starting, so we need to talk about what we 
want to do in Athens.

At the business  meeting at GGF15, we discussed the possibility of having a 
Grid Accounting/Usage Tracking workshop for the Community program. Time 
constraints have not been supportive of preparing this, so we will have to 
table this activity for a later GGF.

The one activity we definitely want to followup on is the idea of spinning 
off a Campus Grids RG. I propose we request a BOF at GGF16, with the goal 
of gauging interest in the European projects for such an organization. We 
already know from the GGF15 workshop that there is significant interest in 
the US. To this end, we need a draft charter to submit when we request the 
session.

We should also request an RG working session for a business meeting. This 
will primarily focus on the activities the group needs to follow up on, and 
make commitments for future GGF conferences, including planning future 
workshops.

If there's anything else you would like to see the group address in Athens, 
please post to the list.

thx
LM
