5) The document represents a long-awaited attempt
at standardization of resource usage records. We
look forward to implement the format that will be
agreed by the GGF participants. Still, much work
has to be done in order to deliver an
unambiguous specification that suits everybody
and accommodates most important aspects.
Evaluation: Thank you (editor will send).

15) The OGSA WG is working on an
information model for Grid
resources. It would be nice if the
UR work and the OGSA work
agreed on terminology, etc. But
this may entail unwelcome delay in
the standardisation process for UR.
Evaluation: Talk to OGSA;
schedule a joint WG session at
GGF18
