Actions

    * 1. Dieter and Susan to request from GGF  
          o - that GGF consider INFOD to be a formal GGF group (the INFOD BOF was run at GGF10)
          o - that INFOD have one session at GGF11 to cover these three topics:
                + *a* The INFOD specification document
                + *b* INFOD Scenarios
                + *c* Relationships with and differentiation from other groups and activities inside and outside GGF, e.
g., DAIS and WS-Notification  
          o - the GGF INFOD session should not clash with DAIS and with any OGSA Data meetings (ASIDE: are there any 
other sessions an INFOD session should not clash with?) 

    * 2. It was suggested that Chris Kantarjiev (INFOD GridForge WebMaster) move INFOD related documents from DAIS to 
INFOD on Gridforge. 

    * 3. Norman Paton and Dieter Gawlick to comment on a first attempt at listing the INFOD related documents that 
currently appear on the DAIS Website and that are candidates for Chris to move to INFOD:
          o Information Dissemination in the Grid Environment (also known as Data Distribution in the Grid Environment).
 This document will form the starting point for an INFOD specification
