Description
In this section we will discuss the financial part [FIN] of the WLCG strategy. Items to be discussed based on the feedback on the strategy document:
- How to develop a multi-year resource planning collecting the input from the experiments.
- What are the conditions for considering HPC capacity as part of the pledge? Should be documented as a formal WLCG document.
- Should we monitor pledges against authorship levels (some think is a good idea, some think it is not so good)
- Do we need fine grain pledges (monthly?, quarterly?) Discussed in the past, partially implemented, never used
- Can we setup a lightweight mechanism to highlight the commitments for SW/MW development? Is this useful for the SW and MW developers to secure funding?
