Minutes of the GGF-8 Session 
The Production Grid Management RG held an abbreviated working session the evening of June 26. Co-chair Judith Utley 
moderated the session. The session opened with a review of the GGF Intellectual Property Policy. Judith noted the need 
for a secretary and asked for volunteers. No one stepped up to accept this position. Judith also asked for two 
volunteers to take notes at this session and again got no volunteers. With this section of business unsuccessfully 
concluded, Judith gave a short review of progress to date. 

A discussion on how to get the group back on track and the enthusiam demonstrated at both the BOF and the first sessions
 at GGF-6 regained. The original goals were reviewed. These goals had undergone some modifications as new co-chairs 
joined the group. These modifications were also briefly reviewed. Judith made several suggestions for getting the group 
back on track, but there was no 'buy in' from the group on these; no one volunteered to help and no other suggestions 
were made. 

Some members who offered earlier to write sections of the Best Practices document have since retracted the offer. Their 
concern was the copyright with the GGF Intellectual Property Policy. Judith noted that she had talked to our Area 
Director concerning this and found this should not be a concern. 

Co-chair Franz Pfreundt was not able to attend. Co-chair Doru Marcsiu announced his resignation as a co-chair noting the
 time required and his current work commitments. Doru said he expected to continue to be active in the group. 

Two sections of the Best Practice document were presented and reviewed: the section on security and the section on 
capacity management. Suggestion were made for additions to the security section, but overall it was well received. There
 was some discussuion on whether a section on capacity management was needed in the document.
