Open actionpoints
From last meeting:

- AP: Michaela to book phonecalls with signees in NO and FI (done).

Report highlights
Network upgrade in DK was a success effectively doubling the bandwith. No upper limit reached yet. Bandwidth will improve again after upgrade in NO and Slovenia.
Next quarter ALICE tape pledge should be > 80% of target, but installed capacity likely below pledge instead (still yellow). Likely also for ALICE disk, even though Norwegian disk pledge was reduced.
Future reports: Table of percentages for the whole nordic pledge vs delivered.
Most important points: Norwegian Network upgrade and the needed upgrades to meet 2019 pledge.
CA status

Michaela had her online meeting on 24th of April with Katri Huitu and Antti Väihkönen from HIP. Thomas Lindén was also present and explained the purpose of the CA to them.
Big changes: 1.3 , 3.2, times in 7 and especially 7.4_3
Their feedback was incorporated and checked with NordForsk lawyer. So those changes should be fine. Added additional point 1.5, waiting for NordForsk to give feedback on that as well.
Updated to current valid template (CA template discussion also still ongoing).
Bilateral MoUs for the different countries all at different starting dates, so no sense to go for a synchronisation with the starting date.
Decision: Good enough to add descriptions and go for a second round once NordForsk comes back on 1.5.
WLCG workshop summer 2020
Early proposal sent in to hold it at Folkets Hus. Preliminary feedback came in. EGI hinted that EGI might not like to come to Umeå. Good to have the WLCG workshop in Umeå (instead of Adelaide).
Risk list review
The risk list was updated.
