Re: "What no evidence of discussion?

On 10/20/2004 Mark Linesch (GGF Chair) sent a note via email to the entire GGF community.  Here is a relevent excerpt:

---------------------------------------------
As we embark on the next five years of growth and more pervasive adoption of grid technologies, it is important that we 
reflect upon and tune our plans to capitalize on our momentum.  To that end, we are embarking on a three month review of
 the overall GGF strategy and operating model.  With the approval of the Grid Forum Steering Committee and the Grid 
Forum Advisory Council, we have engaged independent consultants to deliver a set of recommendations on the most 
effective model to ensure the adoption of Grid computing and its associated standards.  I expect to bring forward a 
recommendation to the collective GGF community in the first quarter of 2005.
---------------------------------------------

GFSG minutes record decisions, not each and every discussion along the way. 

In fact, Mark and the GFSG have exceeded the transparency promised in the announcement from 10/20/04.  The 
recommendation that he promised he would make during 1Q2005 were drafted into a Community Practice document and 
submitted to the PROCESS-WG within several weeks of the conclusion of the announced study.  That working group meets at 
GGF-13 (this week) to discuss those recommendations.

After the PROCESS-WG comes to consensus on the CP draft it will be submitted to the GGF Editor for 60 day public comment
.

This is the GGF process, and it is indeed transparent.

What no evidence of discussion?

Hi,

I understand there are some bing changes in the works in the GGF process due for announcement at this meeting. Looking 
at the GFSG minutes I see no evidence of this discussion.

It is clear that this review is NOT happening in an open transparent process. Why not?

Regards,

Steven
