    1. Comments on the previous meeting minutes
    - Dave has now solicited comments on the policy doc from the Grid Deployment Board, and JSPG mailing lists.

    2. Image distribution and Cataloging
    - Ulrich and Owen created a TWiki page which summarizes the requirements:
    https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/HEPIX/VMICUseCases
    - New contributor  (  from LAL IN2P3) 10 percent of his working time dedicated to this topic.
    - The straw man implementation of the VMIC is running with a certificate at Oxford.
    - Owen has added the ability to access the VOMS service to the catalogue.
    - Owen mentioned several key requirements. The SMVIC should be scalable, and the EVMIC should be easy to use for the endorser.
    -  Owen commented that a job throughput of around 100K per day for a Tier-1 sites defines the performance characteristics of the SVMIC.
    - There was discussion about the frequency at which the endorsers catalogue mush be checked. Should every instantiation require a check of the catalogue?If so there must be site local cacheing, much like certificate revocation lists.
    - Tony would like to see a plan for the next steps with the image catalogues. The catalogue group will work on the plan.
    - Ian Gable asked about maintenance on the image catalogue software. This is still an open question.

    3. Next meeting.

    - Outline of the plan for the VMIC
    - Review of the hypervisor doc
    - Names for the contextualization scripts
