Action Items:
-------------

061122 Wei	Attempt to implement security recommendations

061115 Wei	Add monitoring disk space for DQ2 to Ranger.
        061122 Not done yet. Also need to monitor the GUMS server.

061108 Richard	Discuss with SLAC Security longterm approach to ATLAS VO
        061115 No information.

061101 Richard/Bill Convene advisory group regarding CPU/disk split.
        061108 Have emailed Gordon. To be done.
        061115 Gordon and Bill will meet today to discuss it.

061025 Stephen	Check web server approval status
        061101 Have opened up that hornet's nest.
        061108 No news for the last week. Need to keep the discussion 
going.
        061115 Teresa trying to get web team together for a meeting
               next week.
        061122 Everyone at the meeting except Stephen went. They want
 	      to know if we are up to date with security patches. BobC
 	      would like us to use an IP range for protection in MySQL
 	      instead of the domain name. Also not sure if the web
 	      server interface needs read/write or just read
 	      access. Could set the privilege of the web server to
 	      make security tighter, also by putting it on a different
 	      machine. Believe the Site Services python scripts update
 	      the TiersOfAtlasCache.py file. There was a general
 	      unhappiness of how security was handled. Folk are going
 	      to take this message to the Tier-2 meeting next
 	      month. The verdict was allowed under protest. Recognised
 	      this is an important commitment but need to work with 
authors
 	      to improve system.

061018 Wei	Test gridftp with xrootd federation
        061025 Probably not very soon, but should be on the agenda.
        061101 No change.
        061108 Will remove from Agenda and leave as action item.
        061115 Nothing done yet.
        061122 Nothing happened yet. Discussion with Wilko about
 	      setting up an xrootd machine for testing with ATLAS data
 	      transfers. With SRM need to have all xrootd machines
 	      exposed to the Internet, so not a great solution.

061004 Randy	Find out about xrootd for ATLAS plans
        061018 no news
        061025 No information yet. Andy probably knows something.
        061101 No info.
        061108 Need to get Andy involved in this discussion. Might be
 	      useful for Andy to go to the December meeting in
 	      Arlington.
        061115 Will attempt to get Andy on the phone next week.
        061122 Didn't actually happen. Next time?
