GridPP PMB Minutes 59 - 2nd December 2002
=========================================
Present: Dave Britton, Pete Clarke, Robin Middleton, Tony Cass, Steve Lloyd,
By phone: Tony Doyle, Neil Geddes.
Apologies: Nick Brook
DB wanted to discuss the Risk Register and receive comments and feedback
from everyone. It was agreed in GridPP that R.17 (Repetition of Research)
was a high risk but the likelyhood and impact were changed from 3 & 2 to 2
& 4. R40's risk was changed to 2. (The title was also changed to 'Lack of
Future Funding').
TC said he was happy with the information produced for LCG.
RM gave some additional information which was required for EDG and were as
follows- R11: 2,2,4; R12: 1,2,2, R14: 2,3,6, R15: 1,3,3, & R16; 2,3,6.
After some discussion on these, R16's risk was reduced to 4. R5's
description would be changed to define a broader sense in the risk element.
DB asked for comments on the Applications section. The board commented as
to why R2 'Sudden Loss of Key Staff' should be higher in this area but DB
felt this was justified as key staff had to be more specialised.
However, TC said the likelihood element (2) should be the same for all
sections. DB said he would check with NB & RB before making further
changes.
R1 for infrastructure was agreed as being 6 (in the absence of JG). PC
was happy with proposed comments for R10. SL thought R25 (Hardware
Procurement Problems) at 6 was too high as such problems had never
occurred but TD did not agree, the likelihood was reduced however from 2
to 1. R29's likelihood and impact were changed from 2-2 to 4-3.
DB asked for those still to complete their risk register to have their
forms submitted to him by Thursday. Once completed this will then be sent
to the OC.
DB asked SL about progress in the Long Term Planning Document and he said
he was still waiting for information from NB. He also needed something on
middleware from PC and RB.
NEW ACTION: 59.1 - NB, PC & RB to provide further information to SL for
Long Term Planning document. Also required is a more detailed breakdown
of Tier-1 staff from JG.
DB said he had sent a template for a quarterly report to NB with names and
deliverables to report on the project map.
RM said that what is required for EGEE engagement was slowly becoming
clear. TD said a quarterly report would be required to show input. PC
reminded everyone that it was agreed at the meeting in Bristol last week
that they would consolidate in certain areas.
TD said the DataGrid Tutorials were going well.
See
http://umbriel.dcs.gla.ac.uk/NeSC/general/esi/events/125/
and
http://documents.cern.ch/AGE/current/fullAgenda.php?ida=a021807
for the associated slides.
TD and NG had received lots of questions from the Times Higher Education
Supplement correspondent during the break.
TD also said the NeSC talk on ScotGrid, GridPP and DataGrid the previous
Friday at the NeSC annual review had been well received by Tony Hey and
DTI.
PC discussed the testbed rollout and said that 1.3.4 was now ready with
1.3.5 being prepared. TD said that UKHEPGRID should be informed of its
importance at the appropriate point.
RM was concerned about the time limit for submissions of abstracts of
papers for CHEP03.
