Jeremy,
this is for the PEB, could you please check? I wrote this on the plane
yesterday and so I could not check it against your notes

----------------------------------

All,

while you are at the PEB meeting I will be on my way towards Sydney,
Australia and I therefor report on the latest GDB through this message.
I assume most of you were present yourself at the GDB so my message is
rather a reminder of what we discussed and decided rather than a
detailed report. A first version of the minutes is already available on
the agenda page.

I felt we had a very useful GDB with a equally useful day preceding the
official GDB on the Service Challenges.

Points that we discussed and decided upon:

-- A proposal was presented for a procedure for the reporting of
vulnerabilities. Information on this was available before the meeting
and Linda Cornwall presented it once more in detail during the meeting.
All members were invited to study this proposal again and in case of any
doubt or questions would react on the GDB list. If no such reaction is
received the procedure will be endorsed at the next meeting.

-- All Tier-1 centers are requested to provide detailed planning for
2006, and more specifically for sc4, showing when and what will be
purchased and when which services will be provided. We expect those
plannings by email before the end of this month.
N.B. We (I discussed this with Jamie) now plan to send out such a
detailed planning for CERN which could serve in a sense as a template
showing the level of detail we expect. I also plan to ask a short oral
report at the next GDB from each Tier-1 present at the meeting.

-- All Tier-1 centers agreed to install an extra node for throughput
testing besides the nodes which are needed for the service.
N.B. These nodes need to be further specified in detail and be discussed
either at the operations workshop or during one of the forthcoming
service challenge or GDB meetings

-- The VO boxes were discussed but we felt there was a lack of detailed
information about them and we would postpone further discussion to the
operations workshop. It was felt (but not officially agreed) that boxes
were needed for Service Challenge 3 and that the use of VO boxes beyond
that were to be discussed again.
N.B. As no representatives from the experiments are expected to come to
the operations workshop it has been decided meanwhile to put VO boxes
explicitly on the agenda for the next GDB in Bologna and ask the
experiments to tell us in detail their requirements.

-- All representatives are asked to give feed-back on the list of
possible GDB meeting dates for 2006

Next meeting is in Bologna on October 11 and 12 and a very provisionally
agenda is already on the web.
