Description

As WLCG prepares for the HL-LHC era, Operations Coordination continues to steer the infrastructure through major technical transitions while ensuring stable Run 3 operations.
The current focus is on four key cross-cutting projects: the migration to token-based authentication and authorization, the evolution and sustainability of WLCG accounting, the implementation of XRootD monitoring, and the structured incorporation of heterogeneous resources and architectures. Each of these areas requires close coordination between experiments, sites, EGI, OSG, and middleware providers to align operational practices with future scalability, security, and sustainability requirements.
This contribution provides a concise overview of ongoing activities, coordination mechanisms, and concrete near-term priorities as WLCG progressively adapts its operational model to meet HL-LHC demands while maintaining reliability and service continuity.
