Notes:

Replies on data rates for the February run have now been received from
all except ATLAS.

FD has circulated the experiments the questions of how much if any
of the February data is to be kept and if the temporary and permanent
storage from the run can be taken out of the existing experiment
resource planning or needs to be added to them. So far we know that
CMS and ALICE will keep the detector parts of the February runs and LHCb
will keep none but need extra resources during the run. The fractions
to be kept are not yet known.

Alice (LB) queried sites on how to separate real data from mock data
while still using the same SRM endpoint. This still needs to be checked.
At the Tier-0 MCS proposed different directories with different 'file
classes' should be used.

AA will send an updated version of the milestone plan. Reactions
should happen this week and be reviewed at the pre-GDB Face2Face
meeting.

Experiments are asked to provide a list of critical services following 
the CMS model - see twiki:

Next weeks meeting will be the pre-GDB Face-to-Face from 13.00 to 16.00
in the IT Auditorium on 6 November. See the agenda at
