Hi all

thanks for the minutes. I have some comments.

1. To Claire: minutes say "We already have heterogeneous resources on the NGS grid". What type of resources does NGS provide access to in addition to computing and storage?

2. I agree the milestone should focus on interoperability from an operational point of view. Ordering by operational tool seems to be appropriate as you have already agreed.

3. Accounting is a critical aspect as heavily relies on the adoption of a common usage record standard which doesn't exist at the moment.
Also, a common transport mechanism needs to be identified to transport records across sites deploying different middleware stacks.
Accounting of MPI jobs is also of great importance, together with accounting of virtual resources (grid-cloud integration).

Another operational interfaces of a resource could be:
- the capability to be put in downtime if under maintenance
- the capability to undergo a certification process, to reach a "production" status
- the capability to be monitored to assess its operational security level
I'm not sure however about what we mean with "operational interface". I'll ask Steven to clarify.

4. "Accounting session: will contact John Gordon to find out the status of the session"
I think this session is still open, at the last OMB John solicited feedback from NGIs on which topics would like to discuss

5. Advertising the interop sessions on the newsletter is a good idea. However for explicit contributions I think partners have to be contacted directly

6. Mario, I haven't understood this point "Mario: session: Overvies and how we are doing things now in the beginning, break up the rest in two main parts: developper point of view, and EA point of view."
I don't understand the relevance of EAs here can you explain what type of contribution you would expect from them?

Thanks
Tiziana
