  1. France GrillesThe French NGI R. Rumler, CNRS/IN2P3 WLCG Collaboration Board meeting, 2009-11-13

  2. Contents • Current situation near the end of EGEE • French NGI, recent events • Organisational structure • Staffing • Role of the tier-1 • Conclusion, concerns, issues R. Rumler, WLCG CB meeting CERN, 2009-11-13 2/9

  3. French NGI, recent events • The “Institut des Grilles” (IdG) of CNRS is the base of the French NGI • The high level management of the French Production Grid will be handled by the IdG • The French NGI is called “France Grilles” (name given during the first transition meeting from an EGEE ROC to the NGI in October) • Legal structure: GIS (Groupement d’Intérêt Scientifique) • At the beginning of the current week the organisational structure of the NGI has been outlined, see following slides R. Rumler, WLCG CB meeting CERN, 2009-11-13 3/9

  4. France Grilles, organisational structure 1 Comité de Pilotage Conseil Scientifique Du Groupement Directeur Gestionnaire Ingénieur sécurité Comité des utilisateurs Comité des directeurs Relations EGI Opérations Communication -Dissémination Applications Formation Développements opérationnels Développements applicatifs R. Rumler, WLCG CB meeting CERN, 2009-11-13 4/9

  5. France Grilles, organisational structure 2 Operations Responsible And Deputy Site representatives Subtask responsibles Developments for Operations R. Rumler, WLCG CB meeting CERN, 2009-11-13 5/9

  6. Staffing • For all currently defined subtasks and functional entities of the NGI the corresponding key persons are already designated • Most of them have permanent contracts • BUT: most of them are delegated for their “grid job” by their home institution and don’t formally belong to the IdG (nor to “France Grilles” which cannot act as a legal body anyway) R. Rumler, WLCG CB meeting CERN, 2009-11-13 6/9

  7. The role of the Tier-1 • The deputy director of the IdG who manages the production grids is also the director of the tier-1 • Operations responsible and deputy are tier-1 staff • Regional grid operators (ROD) are tier-1 staff • Training coordination for the IdG is done by tier-1 staff • Grid activities in the Rhône Alpes region are promoted by tier-1 staff (public research, industry applications) • Security, accounting, monitoring, and various other tasks are led by people from tier-2 centres • IN2P3 is involved in various non HEP applications, mainly at other places than the tier-1 (but also there) R. Rumler, WLCG CB meeting CERN, 2009-11-13 7/9

  8. Conclusion, concerns, issues • In a previous pre-GDB presentation in May on the NGI topic I said being optimistic about the switch to the French NGI structure • Even if a concrete transition plan still has to be elaborated • This is still true, particularly as things start moving • And the actors to fill the existing rough outline of the plan are known • Without EGI the risk of having parallel communities HEP versus non HEP is high • Will the GDB be sufficient to coordinate operations? • Will a successor to the EGEE SA1 coordination meetings be necessary? • The situation for the persons with temporary contracts is still uncertain, even if there’s some hope to be able to propose permanent ones to most of the key people • Since May some have already obtained permanent contracts R. Rumler, WLCG CB meeting CERN, 2009-11-13 8/9
