  6. Goals Set in Seoul • Mission Statement • Ready by Supercomputing • Charter • Principles, Procedures, Expectations • Membership

  7. Overarching Goals Establish sustained collaborations and Advance the use of the gridtechnologies for applications among a community of investigators working with leading institutions around the Pacific Rim Working closely with established activities that promote grid activities or the underlying infrastructure, both in the Pacific Rim and globally.

  8. Activities -         Encourage and conduct joint (multilateral) projects that promote the development of grid facilities and technologies in the Pacific Rim countries -         Share resources to ensure project success -         Conduct multi-site training in the use of grid technologies methodologies to support international collaborations -         Exchange researchers between participating institutions and promote exchange more broadly -         Meet and communicate regularly -         Collaborate with and participate in major regional and international activities such as APAN, APGrid, GGF -         Disseminate and promote knowledge of using the grid among domain experts and scientists - Disseminate proceedings and summary of events and meetings on the world wide web -         Provide and raise resource for PRAGMA members to raise level of awareness and funding for grid activities

  9. Expected Outcomes • Advance scientific applications • Increase interoperability of grid middleware • Contribute to the development of international grid efforts • Increase productive and effective use of the grid by researchers and scientists in the PacificRim • Increase collaboration on the grid in the Pacific Rim • Increase grid activities within member countries, throughout PRAGMA and the world • Provide core resources and model testbeds for regional e-science projects

  10. Used at iGRID and Supercomputing 2002

  11. Operating Principles and Procedures: Rationale • Create an agreed to set of principles • Articulate mission, activities, outcomes • Define membership • Set expectations for existing and potentially interested new participants • Establish key procedures

  12. OPP: Outline • Preface 1. Definitions 2. Understandings 3. Objectives 4. Steering Committee 5. Intellectual Property 6. Financial and Hosting 7. Adding, Withdrawal, or Removing Participants 8. Other Matters Appendices: Founding Members, Initial Steering Committee Members, Membership Propositions, Procedure for Selections of PRAGMA meeting Host Site, Relationships. http://www.pragma-grid.org/Pragma_OpPrincProc2.doc

  13. Key Principles and Understandings • Open to all institutions that align with the goals of PRAGMA • Individual and resources contributions are acknowledged • Promote open access to software and data • Decision making by consensus • Members bear cost of their own participation • Members encourage cooperation amongst themselves in implementation of PRAGMA, • Document not legally binding

  14. Steering Committee • Initial Compositions: • List in OPP, from Founding Institutional Members • Vote: • One per institution • Responsibilities: • Review applications for membership • Determine/maintain relationship to other groups • Review applications to host PRAGMA meetings • Set concrete milestones • Others • Proposed Structure: • Chair / co-Chair

  15. Types of Participants • Members, both for Institutions and for Individuals: These are the institutions, organizations, consortiums of institutions or research groups, or individuals, who actively participate and have responsibilities, and who express support for and intentions to observe the provision of the OPP document.Normally universities or university based, publicly funded, not-for-profit research institutes • Observers: These are institutions who are not yet ready to become members, but who can be involved in a mutually beneficial way. A possible example may be a institutions starting activities in the grid. • Affiliates: These are institutions that have overlapping interests but are not eligible. Examples here include industry, or non-profit groups that do not have the resources to play the role of an active member • Subscriber: Individuals who want to learn about PRAGMA by subscribing to the pragma-discussion list.

  16. Balanced Growth • Growth is healthy • Need it balanced to maintain focus and community sense

  17. Procedure to Add Participants • Steering Committee selects • Criteria (some): • Potential contribution to PRAGMA • Experience interacting on projects • Institution invited to attend meeting and submit application • Final decision by Steering Committee

  18. Additional Organization Notes • Founding Members • Steering Committee Members • Members of PRAGMA, from Institutions who are members • Institutional Participants • May be that new institutional members are not represented (directly) on steering committee

  19. Open Issues • Formulate explicit outcomes • Define jointly relationships to other activities • (As needed) Construct process to evolve steering committee

  20. Next Steps • Finalize discussion on OPP • Modify as needed and implement • By June implement OPP • Address interest on part of other organizations to participate • Challenges: • Holding meetings at application meetings
