Since today's meeting is canceled, could people circulate short notes on the usual items? Cut and pasted from last week's minutes: 1. DQ2 Status/Web Proxy 2. Tier-2 Hardware 3. HPSS/gsiftp/xrootd 061108 Richard Discuss with SLAC Security longterm approach to ATLAS VO Thanks! -- Charles C. Young M.S. 43, Stanford Linear Accelerator Center P.O.
