Review of Actions
=================
ACTION 15.2: TD to iterate with Oversight (OS) committee on understanding
management of the Tier-2 centres.
--- Discussed with Paul Jeffreys. Experiments to provide input.
ACTION 17.9 SL with Andrew McNab; improve website.

(such as TB people). Would like link to experiments grid activity page if
they exist. NB to raise at EB.
ACTION 17.14 JG revise Tier 1/A staffing plans.
--- Ongoing.
ACTION 17.19 DB process spreadsheet from PC and use in reporting.
--- Processing is done. Reporting side needs some input.
Reporting of security? Should it be a separate line? TD wants to raise the
profile. RM comments that some of it goes in through WP7 but how do we
include securegrid effort at Oxford?
ACTION 20.1: PC & TD to produce integrated risk assessment document & GANTT
charts for OS meeting in April.
--- Contacted Daron Green.
ACTION 24.1 RM to get information on recruiting from experiments.
--- 7/8ths done.
***NEW ACTION 27.1 RM to circulate latest information.
ACTION 25.1: RM collate TB Q5 reports and provide summary document.

NeSC opening demonstrators by March 25th.
--- For the NeSC opening We have our 3 demonstrators. NeSC meeting today
cancelled. TD pushing Malcom for definitive statement on what is needed
for rehearsal on April 5th. LHCb demo worked on laptop at CERN. Others
demos are being worked on. TD: Should GridPP have a handout: Poster front
and words on back describing mission.
***NEW ACTION 27.2: SL/TD to produce draft version for April 5th. Based on
web-pages.
Demonstrators will require posters to go in package too. NB: Are there
experiments without demonstrator who want to provide a handout.... poster
one side (ask EB)? Tier-1/A poster from RAL? Update the one from January?
(RM)
***NEW ACTIONL 27.3: RM to update Tier-1/A poster.
ACTION 26.1: TD devise snappy, PR-friendly mission statement.
--- Making the Grid work for Particle Physics - From Grid to Web -
Exploiting the next IT Revolution.
ACTION 26.2 TD build a document from the GANTT chart in the form of
Daron's request.
---TD has left a message but DG yet to get back.
ACTION 26.3 SL send news items for the website to NIG and
Julia Maddock to assess suitability for a PPARC press release.
--- Did this once. Action continues.
ACTION 26.4 RM to discuss with Dave Morrell the carry-forward of

--- RM not discussed this yet. Wed maybe.
ACTION 26.5 RM determine estimates of travel expenses in each category
based on last year's spends and devise accounting budget codes according

Other Items.
===========
SL has circulated HEPCCC minutes. There is a bit about framework-6 but
most information was already known. Nothing from Hans Hoffman yet. Discuss
after Easter.
Next meeting: Tuesday 2nd April 1pm.
Road Map meeting: April 18th. SL to go. RM concerned about DG architecture
and UK diverging so would like to go too.
Meeting on April 22/23 in Berlin, paid for by IBM, TD to go and report
back to PMB.
***NEW ACTION 27.4: TD to put meetings on Meetings Web-page.
Collaboration Meetings.
=======================
Next teaching would be about Job Submission and will form part of
collaboration meeting. Should be two session on how to submit jobs to grid
but needs to be well worked out so that it appeals to more than the TB
(also experiment people and sysman types.) Dave Colling was seen as the
key person but needs help from Andrew McNab. This type of teach-in
identified as one of the quarterly cycle of TB meetings.
TD: If collaboration meeting is not to have a set of TB status reports
then there needs to be a TB summary report. EB at Collaboration meeting:
Do same as last meeting. Later on, (perhaps by IC) might invite individual
experiments who have made substantial progress to report in addition to
these summary presentations.
NEW ACTION 27.5: DB Pre announcement of IC meeting to HEPGRID.
