• The day following the last MB, LHCC had a review of the CMS Conceptual Design Report, split into two days. Immediate recommendations provided, waiting for the final report.

  • On June 17th there was the F2F meeting of the Resource Planning and Pledging Task Force, with high-level agreement (or at least, no strong disagreement) on most of the questions on the table. Waiting for the report by David as a stable point for discussion. Representatives have been explicitly asked to discuss that with their experiment teams in order to get first feedback. A *draft* report is currently scheduled for October’s RRB session, not necessarily with conclusions.

  • The Sustainability Task Force started the discussion about the initial value (default?) to be put into CRIC. Discussion: It was agreed that guidelines should be developed to try to ensure sites have a consistent approach in entering a single PUE value in CRIC, when in practice PUE varies with load, weather, etc. The guidelines may also need to address how to account for heat-reuse. etc. The HEPIX forum can offer some expertise in these areas and will work with the Sustainability forum to take this forward.

  • We have the initial agenda for September’s LHCC (WLCG session on Sept 1st  around lunch). No focus session; usual experiments + WLCG talks, plus one from CERN SFT on ML4EP.

  • IHEP is visiting CERN. Tomorrow we have a scheduled discussion with WLCG.

  • The WLCG workshop agenda (Bologna, Nov 2nd-6th) is now online and registration is open. At the moment, only the block-level agenda is present, and is being filled by the chairs.

  • Reminder about entering the pledges for 2027. Please refer to the email by Cath. The deadline is September 14th. Same date for the RRB reports by experiments and groups.
