0. Quick action review, see below.

1. Quick site delta.

   Going up,

   Going down,

   Lying over.
    [in-joke for mathematicians, sorry :-]


   The status and plans of the following sites are still unknown:

	* Sheffield

	* UCL

   We also need to cover a few was-there or nearly-there sites:

	* Liverpool

	* QMUL

	* LeSC

   I don't expect that we need to cover Lancaster.

2. dCache 1.6.6.

    * Status of YAIM (Owen)

    * Status of 1.5.X -> 1.6.6 testing (Greig)

	- Lionel Schwartz from IN2P3 investigated the postgres upgrade
          and found one workaroundable occurrence of an invalid sql
          statement.

    * Status of 1.6.5 (Tier 1): a potential problem has been reported
      with FTS 1.3.0 talking to 1.6.5.2 and 1.6.5.3 ('can not get
      cached locations').  DESY suggest upgrading to 1.6.6.

    We need to discuss whether and when dCache sites should upgrade.

3. VO space usage publishing via GIP

   Probably not much news since last week but let's cover it anyway
   for good measure.

    * DPM (Graeme)

	Graeme sent an extensive update to the list last week; so (1)
	what's new since last week, and (2) questions and comments on
	Graeme's summary.

    * dCache (Owen)

	Owen is working on the GIP side for dCache 1.6.6; using work
	from the previously reported Italian student.  Don't expect
	much yet; Owen is only 1 person and is hacking YAIM.

4. Storage goals for SC4 (Jens)

5. AOB
