Amongst other things, the Open Grid Forum (OGF) will focus on two strategic priorities over the next 12-18 months. The first of these is:

1. Establishing a more productive environment for Grid innovation, outreach and communication. One near term deliverable in this area is the development of a comprehensive white paper to clarify the positioning and value proposition for grids within the broader distributed computing ecosystem. The white paper is planned for release in January 2007.

I’d like to think that my GRIDtoday article helped to encourage the development of the white paper referred to in this context.

Regardless, I look forward to the white paper.
