Dave,

Thanks for the note ... As indicated in my last email, there are several
things I think we need to do to align the Landscape document with the
TS&R document before both are published.

1. The one sentence definition highlighted in the text of the Landscape
document is slightly different from the one in the TS&R document. The
differences are evident when you read the Landscape document but I
believe it is very important to align on a single version. The
definition used in the TS&R appears to exclude grids within a single
administrative domain and also received feedback that rather than
"administrative domain" we use a more business-oriented, accessible
term. 

2. I left in several comments regarding the "segmentation" you utilized
in the TS&R(cluster grid, data center grids, etc.). This should be
discussed to determine how we might better refine these categories so
that they represent our best thinking and we can utilize consistently.
Again, I think it is important that we align here between the two
documents. 

3. Finally, please take a look at the overall document and provide
suggestions as appropriate. We would like to publish this document
before OGF20 so timely feedback by you and the Techincal Strategy
Committee is critical. 

NOTE: Quotes, Sidebars still need to go through a final approval cycle
and illustrations will continue to be refined.

Mark,

You asked about the TSC -  I was snowed under at the time and then lost
connectivity. Sorry I wasn't trying to be rude.

Status of TSC Document: Members of the TSC are this week are (supposed
to be) proposing replies to the Public Comments that we can approve on
the next call (the 28th). I haven't seen any activity yet, but this mail
should serve as a reminder.

The one thing I know you are concerned about is the scope of our Grid
Definition. I will stick to the DC across Multiple Administrative
Domains, but I realize that several people have interpreted this a
"Narrowing" the scope, but that is not how I meant it. It should be
widening it. This we can fix.
