Very effective Consortium meeting: Business case, project plan and benefit realization plan approved.
Action points:
(done) AP A-C to ask NICEST2 staff to sign up (esm-nordic@googlegroups.com)
(done) AP A-C to follow-up on eventual login problems and inform all on how to get access to the internal wiki. https://wiki.neic.no/wiki/Getting_access_to_the_Internal_Wiki
(done) AP Michaela: Check whether the answers of these questions are known within Puhuri already:
Will there be a test system for LUMI to test the software?
When will the project application process open?
-> Taken up as part of Puhuri RG meeting -> up2date information via Kalle Happonen RG link
(done) AP A-C: Add a note on the difference between total cost of ownership and community paid fraction of it into the business case.
(done) AP A-C to follow up to invite for a NICEST2 reference group.
https://indico.neic.no/event/166/
AP A-C Check with Destination Earth if there’s an opportunity to contribute to it from within NICEST2/ our EOSC-Nordic use case -> no concrete action yet, invited to talk, contacts exchanged, Risto also to keep an open eye and ear
AP A-C make a doodle poll for the next SG meeting
Benefit realization plan was presented to the Provider Forum, no further feedback received: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pqlGu_7PKGjgXKxzj0DpxwjC3wlT5o4o/view?usp=sharing
The project manager gives a report on the project status.

Discussion: Experienced overhead in using ESMValTool: Knowledge how to use it is a necessary premise to collect user requirements and feedback.
Summary: The SG recommends the report.
The SG went through the decision point checklist and updated it.
Discussion: List of deliverables which could be made available earlier than M36 (see https://nordicesmhub.github.io/nicest2/2020/05/04/plan.html ). The final proposal will have to be synced with the team members.
D2.3: 1 online tutorial on how to best use ESMValTool diagnostic tools for the Nordic countries (eg, polar lows, European and Greenland blocking events) with emphasis on (high-latitude) observations (and “observation simulators” to some extent). M33
Rationale: Opportunity to get also more feedback from partners
D3.5: 1 Data Management Plan Template, including best practices for FAIR Nordic Climate Data M33
Rationale: many DMP templates provided from different parties at the moment
D4.3: Online training material on best practices for the deployment of ESM workflows M30
Rationale: get more feedback, as well
D4.6: Best practice guides on how to evaluate the performance of Nordic ESMs. M33
Rationale: get feedback, as well
D4.5: Report on bottlenecks that would hinder the efficient usage of Nordic ESMs on EuroHPC and possible remediation actions (I/Os, adding GPU support, etc.) with clear information on costs (PMs, etc.) M30
Rationale: Bottlenecks are identified early in the project and refined later so we should have sufficient inputs by M30.
Decision: The project manager comes with an updated project plan proposal with updated deadlines for previous M36 deliverables for the next SG meeting.
Next meeting: Reserve Friday 9th of April 13:30 - 15:00 CET
