Data & Networking: DNS planning with an eye on IAM needs in the near term is underway. We are discussing the concept of a DNS domain separate from the planned leased domain access.org. This non-leased operational service domain would not be susceptible to the risks associated with a domain owned by another entity. This needs further evaluation.

ACCESS DNS & Domain (10 min) Amy Schuele (Unlicensed)
Amy: I understand there are concerns with the access.org domain for use with infrastructure (Kerberos, etc) given the lease arrangement and that we are still running teragrid.org - so these can be really long running infrastructure commitments. I’d like to explore if we should revisit the domain for this project - or at least for the infrastructure component of the project.
access.org lease would be for 10yr. access-ci.org is already secured for our use.
access.org to be used for public facing
access-ci.org to be used the IAM and other internal/programming purposes
Discussion of XUP -> AMP Transition PlanShelley Knuth (15 Mins)
21-June EC Meeting: John T. asked that all Tracks review the Track 2 transition plan and 1) identify if they will provide one or more of the Track 2 needs and 2) add their own needs.
Tracks asked to annotate the referenced doc to identify items that they will address within their own track, and issues with items as stated.
SSO (via XSEDE) will not be a service ACCESS will continue. Communication to the community is needed ASAP as some institutions utilize this service.
Post-31 August, XSEDE User Portal expected to be available to ACCESS for information/data, however, will not be available to the community.
Requests for XSEDE to continue services beyond August 31, 2022 (10 minutes)
John: Discussions with NSF RE: XSEDE operating services parts Aug 31, 2022: Specific requests are needed to assess. The story is not much different than related to you all last week. While I don’t want to have folks develop proposals as yet, I think I need to the following in order to get a response. The sooner I have this, the sooner I can get it to NSF for consideration. I need this for each service:
XSEDE service you desire to have continued
1-2 sentence justification of need along with 1-2 sentence impact statement if not supported.
duration of ongoing operation being requested
estimated FTE effort
estimated non-FTE costs
Winona: Track 3 may be requesting an XSEDE service beyond 31 August
Open XSEDE user tickets will not transitioned to ACCESS, these issues will need to be opened as new issues on the ACCESS system. This will need to be communicated to the community.
