IETF Liaison with the Global Grid Forum

November, 2003

David Chadwick is the IETF Liaision to the Open Grid Forum.

The objectives of this liaison between the IETF and the Open Grid Forum are to:

• identify stability issues in IETF RFCs that are to be used in OGF specs
• identify potential issues in using drafts and proposed standards in OGF specs (particularly drafts)
• identify areas of overlap of activity and bring these to the attention of the relevant steering groups in each body
• use a new work liaison mechanism to identify areas of common activity and interdependance in new work items.
