Next Meeting of MONARC TASK2 Working Group: 16:00 - 17:30 pm (MET), (9:00 - 10:30 am CST) Tuesday, June 1, 1999 (by videoconference). For those at CERN, we have the Auditorium 40-S2-A01.
We will discuss:

• The survey of future experiments -- organizing to get it done based on guidance from the workshop
• Work required for the MONARC Progress Report, which is closely related to defining our future activities
• Discussion of where we go next in the characterization of Regional Centers
• Discussion of the Architecture group's development of models and the need to get closer coupling to the analysis and simulation groups
