2. When to vote? JohnT
It seems the TG-1 document does not specify when a vote of the TG Foruum is required to approve any measure, policy or action. It simply states:
"On issues agreed in advance by consensus as requiring votes, the TGF acts as the voting body required to make decisions for the project."
I would like to a have brief discussion about this.
Discussion yielded at least one item of general consensus: Issues that directly impact the operation of RP resources should be voted upon. This was not considered teh only criterion, but certainly one criterion. This induced a vote on proceeding with the vetted/unvetted TG UP logins plans in item 1.
3. TG/OSG joint projects proposal update: JohnT
Paul connected with some folks last week; need update on status since this is due VERY soon.
Most significant update since last week is that we have been given a bit more time to submit, but not much. Anticipate further direction from Paul on process in the next day or so.
4. White House Briefing Workshop: NancyW-D

5. Vis and Data white paper: KellyG
(This is a hold-over item from the TG Quarterly Meeting.)
NOTE: We will defer this item until the next call.

7. Items on John's "Barry List": JohnT
Please let me know of things I have dropped. This is my current list of items to discuss/update with Barry:

8. Other items?
- TG Roaming replacement: We had some discussion at the TG QM about this, but it seemed not all the details were run to ground.
- DaveH, JohnC and SergiuS (and others?) to flesh this out and document. They will then circulate for comment.
- TGUP SLAs
- we need Matt to circulate a draft SLA. TACC, IU, PSC and Purdue are all interested in hosting.
- anything else??
