Dear site administrator, dear site manager,

One of the tasks of EGEE is to integrate new VOs. The VO integration process comprises several steps, one of it is solliciting the RCs to supply resources to the newcomers. This is the purpose here. The VO concerned is

 MAGIC

You can read an overview of their resource requirements at 

https://cic.in2p3.fr/index.php?id=rc&subid=rc_vointegration&rcvo=Magic

There, you will also find a pointer to the current draft of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between MAGIC and EGEE. Part of this MoU is an annex which lists to some detail the specific working conditions of the VO, with regards to worker node configuration, production types, particular software requirements, and so on.

If you think that you can support this VO by offering (part of) your site's resources, please go to the already cited web page, select your site, click on "To offer resources" and fill out the form shown there. You find a short explanation on that form at the end of this mail.

Committing this form results in a mail informing your ROC of your intentions. After your ROC has acknowledged, your resource offering will become part of the MoU.

If you have questions, please try to direct them to the appropriate people, for example:

- Questions on the VO integration process: issuer of this mail
- Questions on the form to offer resources: webmaster of the CIC portal
  (address on the CIC portal's pages).

Offering resources, usage of the fields in the form
---------------------------------------------------
Move the cursor over the minimum and maximum fields for CPU and storage
to get a contextual information.

In "Other resources", enter what you can offer according to the other
requirements of the VO. Here you also can write down special conditions
for resource usage etc, especially with regards to the "Options" field
further below on the form.

The "Options" which can be enabled are mainly things like RB, RLS etc.
If you want to formulate restrictions on the usage of an RB, for example,
you can enter this in the "Other resources" field, as already said.
