[userserv-wg] Merged Group Name?

[Laura McGinnis]

We have most of the material ready to send to the GGF Steering Group to 
request the merger of the Production Grid Management and Grid User Services 
Research Groups.  The last this we need is a really good group name.

At GGF13, we referred to the merged group as "Production Grid Services", 
which was an easy combination of the two original group names. On 
reflection, though, I'm concerned that this might imply some sort of grid 
or web services code base, which is exactly NOT what this group is about.

So here are a few other ideas I wanted to bounce around:

Grid Operations Management (GOM-RG)
Grid Management Forum (GMF-RG)
Grid Management and User Issues (GMAUI-RG)

Are any of these obvious winners? Or does anyone have any other ideas?

Prompt response to this would be appreciated,  so we can get the 
rechartering request into the Steering Group quickly. It would be nice to 
have the merger completed before GGF14.

thx
