      2. concepts and info model (Hao, Heather, Mark)

HK>Go thru info model and get consensus
      define metrics in terms of lifecycle/request model
Igor>Primer and use cases
      Primer contains much of current submission and then explains the use
cases.
      Relationships between components
      Includes providers and requesters perspective
Zulah>Use cases
      Core architecture is today and what it should be and how we can reach
consensus on that
and have it written up
      Features
      Don't want to discuss metrics and details yet because the core hasn't
been agreed on

Zulahs concerned about what level of detail? Mechanisms architecture
provides or details on what metrics. Zulah
will try to clarify concerns at next meeting and what we need to do to
alleviate them. If the questions is 'Convey to
other management groups how to create a management spec that is consistent
with the core architecture'.  We
may not have expressed that well. What part of what we're doing is in the
architecture and what out and what is
in arch but goes to working group.

Mark (joined at end) current info is perf/avail, will we do anything about
lifecycle management or configuration management.
Will we get close to service level agreements? brings in more problems with
identification, versioning, etc. We may need
to identify other areas of management and say what will be addressed in
future.
