We have two new T1 candidates: IHEP (China) and NCBJ (Poland) both initially for the LHCb experiment. Following the WLCG procedure, their presented their plans at the December 2022 Overview Board and the OB endhorsed them as proto-T1. The Management Board should define a set of milestones, in agreement between the T1(s) and the experiment(s) and monitor the ramp up of the proto-T1 to reach maturity as T1, The MB should recommend full T1 status to the OB when all milestones are achieved. Early next year we should start this process. Congratulations to IHEP and NCBJ for completing the first step.
