Attendees:  Jacek Becla, Jeff Kantor, Marcus Miller, Michelle Miller, 
            Ray Plante
            
Jeff reviewed various errors, missed use cases.

  Action Ray: Indicate language for Custom stuff, do exhaustive review
     of PCM, PE, Security

  Action Jacek: do catalog construction, catalog query

  Action Marcus: finish remaining untagged use cases, do exhaustive
     review of PCS

Ray introduced a question regarding whether the sub-use cases under
Configure Pipeline should be consider part of PCS activities.  We
discussed the issue of pipeline configuration in the context of
related topics, including "smart reprocessing", dynamic steering, and
application robustness.  Our conclusions:

  *  the ability of a pipeline to reconfigure itself is considered
     mainly a form of application robustness.

  *  pipeline reconfiguration/steering at the moment is being
     considered at the pipeline stage level, not sub-stage or more
     dynamic.  

  *  PCS will handle the creating a pipeline instance for a particular
     platform; however, configuring it for a particular input
     collection or output products will be a function of Pipeline
     Execution.  

  *  Pipeline configuration will likely leverage capabilities of the
     particular PCS technology used.  

  Action Ray:  update notes to reflect division between PCS & PE, tag
     the pipeline configuration use cases.
