Guys, this looks an encouraging start. Some of the questions raised have
already been recognised as 'known unknowns' in LCG and EGEE and I'll push to
get answers, plans, or decisions.
One example is the criterion for joining LCG (and later EGEE). This is
undecided but is actually orthogonal to our aim. We wat to put together a
GridPP Grid. You can all join that independent of your size. We may make UK
restrictions but we needn't be bound by LCG or EGEE decisions. LCG2 software
is the common factor between grids just now. All our UK sites don't need to
be in LCG but if they run the same software we have a flexible grid and some
sites can be both LCG and EGEE and GridPP sites. That said, the LCG test
zone is open to everyone just now so there is nothing to stop us all joining
so go for it.
A couple more points below.

I'll try and find something. New EGEE sites have been asking the same
question.

Agreed but the decision is actually down to the experiments. They will
manage their own lists of sites to be used. Just advertising yourself as
supporting the atlas VO isn't enough.

GLUE has subclusters which should be heterogeneous. A cluster can then
consist of a number of clusters. That was the plan anyway. Whether CEs
actually map onto clusters I cannot confirm.
