Dear Site admins
Please could I remind you all about the request sent out on Monday
concerning multi-user pilot jobs and a questionnaire to be completed
for the WLCG Technical Forum working group. So far I have had one
response (from Durham within 20 mins of the original request - thanks
David!). I know many of you are actively following up on site security
questions... this reminder is for those who missed the initial request
or have yet to act! We will review progress at the Tuesday 19th
operations meeting.
Many thanks,
Jeremy
P.S You may see another similar request from Maarten through other
lists. This is because some countries have not properly propagated the
request. For the UK please reply to me! Thanks.
