Present: Dave Britton(Chair), Tony Cass, Pete Clarke, Jeremy Coles, David Colling, Tony Doyle, Pete Gronbech, Roger Jones, Dave Kelsey, Steve Lloyd, Andrew McNab, Andrew Sansum, Gareth Smith (Minutes) (Minutes).
Apologies:
1. Metrics
==========
Action 610.1: AS/GS Will produce suggestions for one or more metrics that will summarise the Tier1 network availability/performance.
Action 610.2: All – review Pete’s comments in the metrics spreadsheet and act accordingly.
2. Tier2 Procurement
====================
There was a discussion on the urgent requirement to allocate money to Tier2s. It was agreed that the allocations to Tier2s will be based on a total year’s data (13 months to end of Oct ‘16) using new algorithm.
Action 610.3: AS will attempt to get tape media re-classified from resource to capital.
3. Tier1 Procurement
====================
There was a discussion on Tier1 resource spend. There needs to be a discussion with Tony Medland.
Action 610.4: AS/DB will contact Tony Medland to get new budget allocation (regarding extra capital) in writing so we can start procurement.
4. Pledges
==========
We will make the same pledge for Tier2s as for Tier1 (i.e. in percentages). We await confirmation on what we can pledge for the Tier1.
There was a discussion about tape costs. We will need to let Dirac know they may need to fund tape costs on a timescale of 2018.
5. OC Document
==============
Action 610.5: AS Provide numbers/details for H2020 bids. DB will contextualize them.
Action 610.6: GS Produce report on how Tier1 missed that a very low number of CMS jobs were running and therefore fell significantly
behind running the CMS re-reco jobs.
REVIEW OF ACTIONS
