  3. Elected (at large) Paul Avery Srdihara Dasu Sarah Eno Irwin Gaines (chair) Shuichi Kunori David Stickland Ex Officio Martti Pimia Jim Branson (elected) Dan Green Harvey Newman (elected) Matthias Kasemann Lothar Bauerdick Lucas Taylor Vivian O’Dell Ian Fisk Membership

  4. Activities • Participate in organization of project • Concur in appointment of project management • Discuss initial budget allocations • Aid in reviews • Internal review Oct ’00 • DOE/NSF Review Nov ’00 • Upcoming May internal and DOE/NSF reviews • Advise on selection of prototype Tier 2 Sites • Advise on personnel allocation to tasks, prioritization and hardware acquisition plans

  5. Details of Issues Dealt With • Detailed revision and justification of numbers for Tier 1 and Tier 2 hardware needs (efficiencies, user disk space, additional simulation and re reconstruction, …) • Contingency vs management reserve • Timing for Tier 2 prototypes, pilots and production centers • Procedure for Tier 2 prototype site selection • Discussion of potential Tier 2 funding from NSF: project manager should control • Funding travails with NSF • Assignment of additional personnel to production support • Integration with Grid R&D projects • Common projects • Revised “baseline” based on stretched out new LHC schedule

  6. Future Plans • Continue to prioritize needs of collaboration for hardware acquisitions and software support • Continue to assist project management • Detailed discussion of multi tier model for distributed analysis (funding agencies have not yet bought in to Tier 2) • Is physics done at home or at a few central sites? • What is size of “critical mass” for useful analysis • Fully define role of Tier 2 centers • Establish mechanisms for short term feedback and prioritization
