Minutes

• 16B
  • Status. No proposals submitted yet. Only two helpdesk tickets with minor issues. A handful to udb-admin tickets, relating to user accounts, so far.
  • PST Account Status. GarethHunt summarized the status of the user account tickets. Most have been completed and released. Two issues: (1) It would be useful to have additional info on the UI where the user selects the institution. The main problem has been that they cannot find their institution even though it exists in our database. (2) We need a way to update our institution list. For various reasons this is not straight forward. The current workaround is to use a different institution which is not desirable. Several countries are not present and we would like to add them. A ticket already exists. RickLively will investigate. We should make sure this issue is not present in the new user account software.
  • PST Review Items. RickLively plans to release some items for testing on Tuesday (19 Jan). There was some discussion about EVL-3032, adding the functionality to import/export technical review assignments. The UI is quite slow in performing this operation so we agreed that we should complete this ticket. (As an aside GarethHunt will look into the internal (e.g., GB to SO) internet speed since performance seems better outside of NRAO (e.g., home to SO)).
  • SRP Recruitment. MarkClaussen and DavidFrayer reported: ISM and HIZ SRPs are done.; NGA has two vacancies; and the remaining SRPs each have one vacancy. So we still have a total of 7 SRP vacancies to fill. There are outstanding requests for all vacancies. It was noted that we should coordinate better with ALMA so that we do not ask someone to serve on NRAO's panel if they are currently on ALMA's panel.
