WP3
* sites to sign SLA/MoU (operations) and policy document (security)

* wiki reorganisation - user/admin parts
* central services responsibilities discussed
* site registration/certification procedure defined
* BoD to be used by a few applications
* portal should help with gridification of applications
* per country portal offered by SZTAKI
* D3.1a ToC presentation by CERN
  - D2.2 is more general, D3.1 should be more technical
  - describe new components like glite WMS, vobox etc.
  - glite assessment should give proposed configuration for sites
  - country/regional deployment plan - which services should be
    per country and which per region
  - perhaps include site registration procedures also?
  - name people responsible not just countries
* CA/RA security issues
  - catch-all in GR
  - TR, HU have CA
  - HR, RO almost finished
  - SR next 
* expand RA per country network -> RA per institute
* new registration procedure
WP4
* problems in gridification
  - developers not aware of all available grid services
  - gridify -> test/certify -> deploy -> support/monitor
  - do we need special VOs?
  - local site -> seegrid VO+roles -> guidelines document for applications
* application questionnaire
  - scoring scheme - some complaints
  - one application per country until October
  - AL - will decide in a few days
  - BG - SALUTE
  - BH - OAAforDCPP
  - CG - Eilenberger
  - HR - VPPR
  - HU - EMMIL
  - MK - will decide in a few days
  - RO - DRMR
  - SR - PBFS
  - TR - G-PiP (high social and scientific impact)
WP5
* SEE-GRID Training Centre web page presented
  - use new look for SEE-GRID
  - repository of training material should be compatible with CERN Agenda
  - try to use new CERN agenda system (Indico?)
  - everyone send information about tutors and training centre they have
  - D5.1 submitted - web site, docs repository and mailing lists
* training infrastructure discussion
  - issuing of certificates is a problem
  - use training CA with automatic issuing of certificates
  - training cluster support training CA
  - automatically adding users to training VO
  - not easy to add new VO to all sites
  - a few sites should support training VO for start
* virtual SEE doctoral school
  - pool of professors
  - pool of registered students
  - pool of subjects
  - collect the list of research subjects from every partner
* SEE-GRID to be presented on EGEE conference in Geneva, CERN to be
  present also
CA training (5th July)

* history of grid CAs
* CA setup procedure
* short lived credential service
* current issues in eugridpma
* CA/RA procedures
Summer school (6th July)
* Monitoring in EGEE
  - interest in FCR from biomed
  - interest in service availability for site/service prioritization
* VIVE
* Biomed VO
  - application description
* MPI on EGEE grid
* Flood analysis
