Mass Update

Mass Update

Thanks for outstanding work on this document.  It seems
all the recommended changes have been applied or addressed,
and the document now seems to be very complete and 
consistent.

This will be GFD #045.

As GGF Editor, I approve this document for publication.

Thanks very much to the author & WG members
for your efforts on this document!

BTW, here is the spreadsheet with all the corrections.

Greg:

Here is version 28, which *should* be the final one. I'll "bless" it in one week, in case there are no more comments.  My guess is that there won't be
, after my paranoid nitpicking (on the other hand, I'm sure that you will have comments :-). BTW, all the changes since the public comment are in the 
document -- please use the MS-Word toolbar pull-down menu to get the comments shown.

The timing is right to release it in tandem with the two OGSA documents. BTW, Jem and Andreas are asking for a GFD number for the CMM document so that
 they can reference it. Could I get one? (Uh, 45?).

I met with Fred on Jan 14.  This document is making good progress, and should be done within the next month or so.  I do not think the scope of 
changes will require further public comment.

Pasting an email from Fred Maciel, as an update.  Changes to this document are in process.

     A week ago, when David came to the Bay Area I discussed everything him, and posted the plans for the document to the CMM-WG mailing list:

http://www-unix.gridforum.org/mail_archive/cmm-wg/2004/11/msg00000.html

Document has finished public comment period. Only one comment was made. You may view comment at https://forge.gridforum.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=
439. GFSG will determine whether is goes back to public comment or will move on thru the pipeline.

Document has now entered a 30 day public comment period.

Due date: 11-6-04

This document presents a basic management overview and then analyses OGSA interms of it management requirements. The results indicat that more focus 
on management is required in OGSA.

The document is very well done from a technical perspective and I recommend that it go head for Public Comment. It looks good enough in terms of 
editorial issues that a careful editor's review could be conducted in paralle with Public Comment.

There are several activities that could benefit from having access to this document at this time, e.g. OGSA V2 development, WSDM V1.0 finalization, 
and Inter-Standards organization co-ordination.

Dear Author or Draft Editor-

Thank you for submitting your draft to the GGF Editor!  In most cases the draft 
will be assigned to an Area Director for review as the first step in the document 
publication process.

The URL provided with this note allows you to track your submission and to 
communicate with the GGF Editor or Area Director(s) who are reviewing the 
draft.  At the very bottom of the tracker display (web page) a detailed log of all 
actions related to this submission is available.

You may also wish to alert your colleagues that the draft has been submitted, and from their GridForge accounts they may wish to monitor this item in 
order to receive email any time action is taken regarding this submission.

Informational and Experimental drafts are reviewed by the GGF Editor and one 
or more Area Directors.  The GGF Editor will determine whether the draft is 
ready for public comment, or if there are items for the author(s) to address 
prior to public comment.  This initial review generally takes no more than two 
weeks.

Community Practice and Recommendations Track drafts require a GFSG review 
prior to public comment.  This can add 2-3 weeks to the initial GGF Editor 
review depending on current workload of the GFSG.

Please do not hesitate to inquire about the status of your submission at any time by way of comments added to this tracker item, which will be 
automatically emailed to the individual who appears in the "assigned to" field.

Thanks very much- 
GGF Editor
