For each: - Which services you currently provide for WLCG (via EGEE) that you will commit to continue to support (see attached slide) – what is the level of effort you currently provide for these (separated into operation, maintenance, and development) - Which services you will not be able to continue to support, or where the level of effort may be significantly decreased that may slow developments, bug fixes, etc. - What is the state of the planning for the NGI: o Will it be in place (and fully operational!) by the end of EGEE-III? o What is the management structure of the NGI?, and o How do the Tier 1 and Tier 2s fit into that structure? o How the effort that today is part of the ROCs (e.g. COD, TPM, etc) for supporting the WLCG operations evolve? How will daily operations support be provided? o Does the country intend to sign the Letter of Intent and MoU expressing the intention to be a full member of EGI? o Which additional services could the Tier 1 offer if other Tier 1s are unable to provide them? o Other issues particular to the country, or general problems to be addressed. o What are the plans to maintain the WLCG service if the NGI is not in place by May 2010, or if EGI.org is not in place. For ASGC and Triumf it would be useful to hear on their plans in the absence of EGEE ROC support – i.e. do they have plans to continue or build local support centres. For BNL and FNAL I assume that nothing will really change on the timescale of the next year. If there are other countries with Tier 2s that would like to mention the state of their planning that would also be welcome within the constraints of the time. Other issues that need to be discussed include how the support for non-EU, non-US sites will be managed. For example sites in Latin America and others which are currently supported by the CERN ROC. The full agenda will be at: http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=56364. Suggestions for related issues not covered above are welcome. Regards, Ian and John
