Regarding the distribution of the monthly Accounting reports and Availability/Reliability reports to the WLCG collaboration - need a decision on exactly who to send to.
We send:
- the Availability/Reliability reports to the MB (T1) and GDB (T2).
- the Accounting reports to the MB (T1) but for T2, to separate group called project-wlcg-tier2 (no link to the GDB).
Comparing the two egroups:
- project-lcg-gdb = 289 members
- project-wlcg-tier2 = 138 members of which 78 are in GDB, 26 in CB or OB. The rest (~30) are uniquely in this -tier2 mailing list, are recognised WLCG site admins/contacts, but not in any Boards egroups (perhaps they should be - eg. GDB - because they're not receiving the Availability reports). This egroup was set up in 2009.
It is worth scrapping that separate Tier2 egroup project-wlcg-tier2, moving the ~50 people (site admins and CB/OB listed people) into the GDB egroup membership, and then just using the GDB for distribution of all T2 reporting from now on?
Not clear why we are maintaining a separate egroup just for T2 Accounting reports which doesn't receive the Availability reports, especially when a much larger egroup already receives all the T2 Availability reports but not the Accounting.
