========================================
Present: Roger Barlow, Nick Brook, Tony Doyle, Neil Geddes, John Gordon,

Due to video MCU difficulties, this was a short phone meeting so it
concentrated on taking stock and priming preparation for the full day
meeting on 16th.
Actions

on how best to work together.
ONGOING
ACTION 15.4: TD to talk to Guy Rickett on formal feedback from the cttee
before 16th Jan PMB
DONE - A draft of the minutes will be made available prior to the PMB mtg.
ACTION 15.5: NB, TD and Jon Butterworth to get together on installation and
validation bid from ATLAS.
DONE - NB is arranging a V/C
ACTION 15.6: TD to follow up with EPCC on the use of the UKQCD post and
whether there are implicit benefits for the "other expts".
DONE - Richard Kenway responded saying that discussions prior to the
tender submission did not go as far as considering joint working, since
the expectation was that both would receive a post.
ACTION 15.7: SLL to talk to Liverpool on the outcome of the allocations
DONE - Paul Booth was in touch with SLL
Oversight Committee
-------------------
Formal feedback is expected this week in time for next week's full-day PMB.
The OC felt that in the startup phase of the project, six months was too
long until the next meeting. A meeting is to be planned sooner. 8th March
was planned but this clashes with EDG PMB (RPM and TD).
Third Collaboration Meeting
---------------------------
This is scheduled for 14-15 Fabruary in Cambridge (11am 14th until 4pm on
15th).
TD circulated a draft agenda which was discussed and agreed in principle.
Exact timings will be finalised when content of sessions is firmer.
ACTION 16.2 NB and RB to plan Experiment session.
ACTION 16.3 JG to plan Deployment session. Initial thoughts are
presentations from all sites who have implemented EDG Testbed1 plus CERN,
followed by discussion on future progress of EDG and GridPP testbeds.
ACTION 16.4 PC and RM to plan Middleware session including feedback from
Middleware Training Day on 31st Jan.
Action 16.5 TD to contact Cambridge about local speaker(s).
Fourth meeting is planned for May in Manchester but date not yet fixed.
ACTION 16.6 RB
