Hi Pete,
I am certain that CMS will be in favour and would be suprised if any of
the LHC experiments were to be against. The Babar systems are in a mixture
of states around the UK and need "unifying" anyway (this is my opinion
only and am not speaking on behalf of Babar). So I think the EB will
approve.
On another note please could somebody add Dominique and Gilbert to
TB-SUPPORT. They are not part of GridPP, however they are important people
in the Babar Grid activities and are amongst the largest users of the
GridPP RB. The default reply to address does include them even if they
cc'ed on the original.
All the best,
david
