Background: PMB preliminary discussions in September PPAP presentation in October: Resources needed in medium-long term? (09/07-08/10) Exploitationmedium (09/10-08/14) Exploitationlong-term Focus on resources needed in 2008 GridPP Oversight Committee outline on Monday initial ideas for discussion here..

Tony Doyle - University of Glasgow 12 January 2005Collaboration Board Tier 0 and LCG: Foundation Programme Aim: build upon Phase 1 Ensure development programmes are linked Project management: GridPPLCG Shared expertise: LCG establishes the global computing infrastructure Allows all participating physicists to exploit LHC data Earmarked UK funding being reviewed Required Foundation: LCG Deployment F. LHC Computing Grid Project (LCG Phase 2) [review]

Tony Doyle - University of Glasgow 12 January 2005Collaboration Board Tier 0 and LCG: RRB meeting (October) Jos Engelen proposal to RRB members (Richard Wade [UK]) on how a 20MCHF shortfall for LCG phase II can be funded Spain to fund ~2 staff. Others at this level? Funding from UK (£1m), France, Germany and Italy for 5 staff. Others? Now vitally important that the LCG effort established predominantly via UK funding (40%) is sustained at this level (~10%) Proposal to SC in preparation Value to the UK? Required Foundation: LCG Deployment

Assumes no GridPP project management Savings? –EGEE Phase 2 ( ) may contribute –UK e-Science context is 1.NGS (National Grid Service) 2.OMII (Open Middleware Infrastructure Institute) 3.DCC (Digital Curation Centre) Timeline? Grid and e-Science funding requirements To be compared with Road Map: Not a Bid - Preliminary Input

Note if the assessment from PPARC internal planning differs significantly from this preliminary advice from PPAP and SC, then earlier planning is required.
