We need to agree on the scope of this round of the planning group - which has the broad goals of preparing background material for the MoU to be presented to the C-RRB in April (see the P2P web page for the latest version) and as input to the TDR.
One proposal is that we produce a "draft" version of Annex 7 "Pledged service levels of the institutions", with the planning numbers for each institute through to 2010. The question of identifying the Tier-2s is dealt with in a later item on this agenda. Annex 7 does not contain a breakdown by experiment. Should it? In any case, should we provide this information for the C-RRB - highlighting shortfalls in the pledges and so pointing at problems that the C-RRB members should resolve.
I propose that we provide tables with the level of detail of Chris's Tier-1 tables, showing the nomimal allocation by experiment for each institute and the percentage of the experiment's requirements that this represents.
Annex 7 also contains sections where institutes commit to operate specific grid management and operations services (like the GOC, GGUS, CICs, ROCs?..). How do we proceed to define the type of service that we believe should be committed in the MoU and to identify the centres that are likely to provide this at the time of startup?
Also in this round, though not for the C-RRB, I would like to go round the major sites and review the status of staff planning - i.e. how does the staffing plan fit the deployment schedule that should emerge from the GDB over the next two months?
What else is there to do in this round?
