GridPP PMB Minutes 32 - 13th May 2002
=====================================
Present: Dave Britton, Nick Brook, Tony Cass, Peter Clarke, Tony Doyle,
John Gordon, Steve Lloyd, Robin Middleton.
The Actions List was not discussed at this meeting as it was agreed that all
conversation be directed to the OC meeting on Wednesday 15th May and in
particular, the Executive Summary and Metrics for Success.
TD asked if everyone could give their opinions on the reports emphasising what
should stand out. DB stated that the Executive Summary was not actually
giving the information required for such a report and that Daron would be
expecting something quite different. TD said that he had listed points of
reference and then emphasised on them but he would appreciate feedback and
any adjustments from everyone - by later on today if possible. TC pointed out
with reference to point 9 that the funding gap was not a GridPP problem.
The Metrics for Success report prepared by DB was also to be reviewed by
everyone with comments and changes to be forwarded to TD. It was possible
that this may be used as an example to be issued following the Executive
Summary.
As PC had to leave the meeting early, TD asked him to confirm his reports for
the OC. It was found that some confusion had occurred with the updating of
the Rollout documents in that PC was working on a version of this document
which had already been updated by TC, SL and JG and this version had been
forwarded to PPARC. It was decided at this point that SL be appointed to be
responsible for keeping track of changes and updates to documents so that
everyone would be working on the same version. It was then confirmed that
PC would covers areas on Management Instruments and Procedures, the TB
quarterly summary report with slides supplied by RM and EDG Workpackage 5.
The Board discussed further aspects of the reports for the OC and in particular
Dissemination, Funding, LCG and Datagrid. TD asked if they should state how
well the packages had performed, but JG said that this should not be seen as a
measure of our success. JG also asked about infrastructure and if the BABAR
EPU sites had been mentioned. TD asked if they were being too upbeat on
BABAR experiments and they went on to discuss the various locations for both
GridPP and BABAR sites. RM said that there was a danger of getting sites and
centres mixed up so it was decided that this should not be specifically
reported on but mentioned in the scale of measurement.
RM had wanted to talk to NG about Framework 6 but he had been unable to
attend today's meeting as he needed to discuss a paper needed of 7th June.
TC & RM also discussed staffing costs for employees in order to estimate
expenditure.
TD stated that message they had to leave with OC would be a basic summary of
what they had been doing.
It was hoped that all comments and changes for the OC reports could be
finalised by this evening. The Board would try to meet up before the meeting
starts on Wednesday.
