• Thanks, everybody, for your contributions!
• Review outcome was positive.
• Major recommendations for Data Production:
  • Concern about the location of the Data Facility.
  • Suggestion that there should be a technical “decision-making body” within the DP organization.

Milestones due in the next 45 days

Wil O'Mullane

• Robert Gruendl is product owner for Prompt Services
  • This is expected to cover everything in the Prompt Base and Prompt NCSA enclaves, but not the scientific payloads that they exceute.
  • Not clear if it's supposed to cover e.g. alert distribution.
• We believe that networking for LATISS is adequate to support an Ops Rehearsal (and general commissioning usage).
• No Cassandra updates, as the DAX team is prioritizing middleware (at DMLT request).

• Leanne Guy , Robert Gruendl , Kian-Tat Lim — clarify exactly of what Robert is product owner. 13 Apr 2020  
• Wil O'Mullane — Ensure that operations-era maintenance of packaging and distribution is captured in the Ops WBS (pretty sure that at the moment, it is mentioned, but the only associated resources are from IN2P3; not clear if that's adequate). 02 Apr 2020  

Wil O'Mullane

• Monday April 6 security summit 8–10 PT (so should be done before DMLT).
  • Contents, participants, etc of this meeting currently undefined as far as DM is aware — Wil O'Mullane will call on folks as & when required.
