NB reported that there were 4 issues raised at the EB meeting.
1) Release of EDG software. 2) The release of DataGrid 1.2
3) Network monitoring. 4) CMS performance experiments.
There was then a discussion on data challenges of lxshare and the timing
of various experiments. This led to a
NEW ACTION 37.6 : TC to identify a web page for lxshare 2002.
TD said he would be giving a talk at the Astrogrid meeting on Wednesday

model, a breakdown of the DataGrid components, concentrating on the
testbed work and GridPP as an operational grid.
Note added: the talk is now available from
