Dear All
As some of you have already read from Monday's PMB minutes:
"It was unanimously approved for all sites to enable one person to attend,
in addition to the T2 coordinators and contributors. Funding for JET was
not approved for the meeting aimed specifically at LCG Tier-2 system
administrators. Encouragement would be given to book early. A maximum of
550 pounds was approved for each person going since >20 people would be
attending."
I will reply to each mail I received indicating that the bid was successful or not as the case may be. If you are aware that only one bid was made for your site then you can be sure the person put forward will be funded. In cases where more than one bid was received for a given site the decision means only one sysadmin will be funded unless the additional person(s) are actively contributing to the sessions or a coordinator. I will try to reply to everyone concerned today. I will also send out a mail giving instructions to those of you going as the GridPP bid was only to get GridPP approval to proceed. In particular those notified as going will need to:
1) Complete and get approval of a standard visit notice
2) Book CERN hostel accommodation *as soon as possible* - the cap of £550 means that if you stay elsewhere you will likely need to fund the cost difference through some other funding. I estimated most claims will be in the region of £450 including travel, accommodation and subsistence. I will send details.
3) Submit an expenses claim after the trip is complete.
I hope this makes sense to everyone. If you do not hear from me within the next 24hrs please mail me to check.
Kind regards,
Jeremy
