Review of Actions

Standing Items
==============
SI-2 : SL said he had posted the news on the EDG v1.3.0 release last
Friday. TD asked if there was anything further to be added to EDG being
deployed in UK but was told that there would be nothing further until
other sites were ready.
TD said it would have been good to have something new in place prior to
the Science Committee meeting.
(note: Following the meeting, a news item on SAMGrid was added.
see
http://www.gridpp.ac.uk/news/1037957446.780947.wlg
)
SL also said a new poster describing the Grid had been put up. He is also
working on a new GridPP poster.
(note: following the meeting these were approved and placed on the web.

ACTION 35.4 : TD to contact sites which do not yet have a "green dot".
- ongoing
ACTION 37.3 : JG to review deputy job description.
- ongoing
ACTION 40.36: DB check and pull together risk assessments.
- ongoing - DB has now issued a word template to everyone in order for
them to fill in each risk. When this has been done, each template will be
linked to the project map. NB said he would have difficulty in trying to
complete the EB side for Thursday due to other priorities. TD and DB
agreed to give him some help by providing a preliminary risk list for him.
This will then be discussed at Thursday's meeting.
ACTION 52.6 : JG to discuss with RM and Dave Kelsey on the web site
for the next Collaboration Meeting (GridPP6).
- done - RM has just to complete the registration form. JG said he was
issuing a note to remind people about it and that the agenda would be made
available after Christmas.
ACTION 53.1 : RB to generate financial requirements for Babar.
- ongoing - RB has given some figures to JG but there will be fuller
discussion at the EB/TB meeting on 16th December.
ACTION 53.3 : ALL to provide input to long-term planning document by
November PMB meeting.
- ongoing - RM has a meeting with PC on 19th November to provide the TB
side. NB has received some drafts from ATLAS, LHCb, UKQCD and a few
others. He hoped to have a draft from CMS today. He would have to email
RB to get info on BABAR. TC said he would complete something on areas
needing funding for people and resources. JG said he would provide
information on hardware requirements for Tier1/A and staffing. Further
discussions will take place on this at Thursday's meeting.
NEW ACTION: 57.1 : DB to provide agenda for Thursday's meeting.
(The agenda was distributed later in the day).
ACTION 56.1 : SL to put the Long Term Planning information together after
the PMB meeting on 21st.
-ongoing
ACTION 56.2 : All to provide TD with extra info for the Science Committee
talk
- ongoing - TD said he needed enough information for a 20 minute talk to
present a robust case about what has been achieved, along with the
financial implications. He said he would circulate what he had prepared
so far, and hoped to incorporate the top down model into it as well.
TD was waiting for an email from J Stirling to tell us his requirements.
(Note: following the meeting, James Stirling was in touch by phone with a
set of questions. Brief answers were presented to Science Committee on
26/11/02.

)
NEW ACTION 57.2 : TD to provide draft Science Committee talk to the board.
The Board went on to discuss travel budgets provided by PPARC for students
who are given only £700 to cover them for training and travel for over a 3
year period. After consulting with NG who was able to join the meeting at
this point, it was confirmed that students could not claim for travel
within the UK, but could if they were travelling to CERN. RAs however
could claim for travel in the UK. TD asked NG if he could lobby PPARC on
behalf of the PMB for changes to this arrangement but he suggested that he
(TD) approach PPARC Council directly.
NEW ACTION 57.3 : RM to email UK HEP Grid about the PPARC ruling on travel.
