  • Ops/DAL/Apps will plan a discussion on on agent/client statistics for TAP and protocols, to see if it helps improving the VO ecosystem
  • major version transitioning in Registry: MDem will think on how to start a discussion (potential task force ahead)
  • (TCG chair to blame) GWS->DSP name change still to be finalised
  • web static pages needs a decision, there are a few blocks: mobile responsiveness and newsletter
