This document summarizes the conclusions reached for the functional specification of Storage Resource Managers (SRMs) by the participants of two recent meetings representing the US Particle Physics Data Grid (PPDG) project, and the European-Union DataGrid (EDG) project. The first meeting took place at CERN on October 11-12, 2001, between Arie Shoshani (LBNL) and people from the EDG listed above. The second meeting took place at LBNL on December 2-3, 2001, with participants from JLAB, Fermi, and LBNL listed above. The participants are people involved in the PPDG and EDG projects who are interested in SRM technology and who either developed or are in the process of developing SRMs. This document reflects the common wisdom and experience of people from both PPDG and EDG. It is intended as a guide for a joint PPDG-EDG document on the SRM functional specification. This document was written by Arie Shoshani.
