4. Identifying, prioritizing, and addressing ACCESS tasks: Stephen Deems (10 mins)

   1. What’s our process for addressing items like the following that cross awardees? If we know of certain things that need addressed, how do we communicate (and to whom) to prioritize and track that? Some recent topics:

      1. ACCESS Account creation:

         1. Academic Status (currently optional field)

            1. ACCESS awardees and RPs are asking for this to be required

         2. Persons whose institutions aren’t in our database yet

            1. Process ill-defined and/or not implemented properly?

            2. Causes account creation process to stall (maybe?)

         3. Web/branding guidelines have not reached these pages

         4. Changing organizations — currently very difficult

            1. Is this a security concern that prevents ID holders from being able to do this?

            2. Could/should we preserve history of org. changes?

5. Support Evaluation Update @Shelley Knuth (10 mins)

   1. Support will be hosting feedback sessions at SC intended to understand more about services we are providing to the community and potential needs

   2. Will use CCEP dollars to host two on-site and pay for people’s travel

   3. Allows for options for people who wouldn’t get to SC otherwise, or for those who are already part of the ecosystem

   4. Is it valuable to have a separate feedback session for ACCESS wide needs? One specific to a service (like allocations)?

   5. Want to ensure we are all communicating about this/personas issue.

6. Informational Items (10 mins)

   1. RAMPS David Hart Stephen Deems

      1. Website “vanity” clarification updates

         1. Text has been incorporated to “add user” interface to indicate that the process isn’t instantaneous (displayed before and after an addition is made)

         2. 

            Allocation “Title” changed to “Project Title”

            1. Some researchers were entering their job title (e.g. Assistant Professor)

         3. Exchange interface updates

            1. Resource justification field was asked for by RPs

      2. 

         Modifications to AMIE packets to reflect “Grant Type” (e.g. Educational, Campus Champion, AI/ML) will be made shortly

         1. Notifications will be sent to RPs in advance

      3. API development for new user interfaces/website (~80-90% completed)

         1. For projects with extreme needs (>1,000 users) the calls are being returned in under a second

         2. Expecting to start integration this week/testing next week

         3. Corresponding re-vamped documentation sprint upcoming

      4. Innovative Pilots Planning

         1. initial meetings are underway with proposal partners (funcX)

            1. Interested in installing their stuff on ACCESS resources

               1. Could be a use case to allocate their work “calls” (think AWS lambda functions)

               2. Seems similar to a gateway but ACCESS could handle management of user accounts and resource balances

         2. More meetings coming with FABRIC (Jim G.) and Pegasus (Mats R.)

   2. MATCH Shelley Knuth

      1. We would like to get an up to date list of the software that each of the RPs are running. Can Operations assist with getting this list? Otherwise we would need to do a workaround.

   3. CONECT Tim Boerner

   4. MMS Tom Furlani

   5. OpenCI John Towns

      1. Kim Bruch attending Grace-Hopper. Would like input in potential ACCESS outcomes sought. (Shawn Strande)
