Hi Jeremy,
sorry I might have missed the bit in which it was talked about.
Announcing to the WLCG ops meeting seems fine to me.
I was thinking about sending a broadcast but it's probably not going to
be read by anyone.
cheers

This was the (admittedly) unexplained background as to why I asked at the ops meeting today if any site was planning to do anything different. I note that the Tier-1 has concrete plans (http://www.gridpp.rl.ac.uk/blog/2012/12/13/ral-tier1-plans-for-christmas-new-year-holiday/) and I can take such pointers to be put against the list of sites I circulate.
