Gents If we want to propose an almost immediate abandonment of 1.2.2 (and i can personally I would vote for this) then we must get it cleared by all of the experiments first - at least so that have felt that they had the chance to react. This means in practice composing the suggestion and sending it to the EB via Nick Brook.

However, currently we are committed to participating in the DataTag WorldGrid Demo, which ends on 22nd November. I won't be able to start upgrading the Bristol site until after that. Is IC planning to keep the 1.2.2 RB going until the 1.3 GridPP resources are up and running? This could lead to confusion, with all the incompatibilities! The alternative is stating explicitly to all sites (rather than the WP6 sites who are probably already aware) that, as soon as this upgrade starts - and for the RB in particular - there will cease to be a functioning 1.2.2 "GridPP testbed". Sites will only be able to rejoin testbed once they have also upgraded to 1.3 So the plan would be: RAL upgrades to 1.3 "Switch off" 1.2.2 GridPP resources WP6 sites upgrade, and publish instructions for same on GridPP website "Switch on" 1.3 GridPP resources Other sites upgrade as and when they feel able Dr D J Colling wrote: > Hi Andrew, > > Yes I agree.
