      Reports were not received from these ROCs:
      Reports were not received from these non-HEP VOs:

      1. VOMS and VO membership expiration date: A french dteam user was unable to generate a VOMS proxy from DTEAM VOMS. The error message was not clear: "Error: dteam: User unknown to this VO".
        After some deeper investigation, it appeared that his VO membership was expired within the VOMS Database. Indeed, it seems that a VO expiration delay is set to 1 year by default. The involved user didn't receive any notification concerning this expiration. Moreover, as the CERN was closed, no Dteam administrator was able to change the expiration date. Such a case could become very tricky with a VOMS entry used for production purposes as the related user could not generate any proxy to submit his/her production jobs. In order to avoid to manage several expiration dates, could we change the VO membership expiration policy to use the user certificate expiration date as the VO membership expiration date by default ?
        We also suggest that a mail must be systematically sent to the user when his/her VO membership is about to expire. (France ROC)
