Minutes

    1. The meeting started with a brief discussion of how many were needed for quorum.
    2. The chair (RN) welcomed everyone to the meeting and reminded attendees of some of the challenges that were coming up in the future (ProtoDUNE running, reviews, procurement, FD installation and science, ND science).
    3. The idea of DUNE consortium effort/skills survey was raised, the consortium have many deliverables in the coming years and would be good to take a snapshot of the effort available to currently deliver them.
      1. A member raised a question of whether the survey would include funding status to highlight how much the consortium is currently depending on unfunded effort. It was pointed out this is tricky given different approaches internationally but agreed that this could be probed.
      2. A member made a comment stating that this should be a snapshot survey, the chair agreed that the idea was that this survey would be run periodically to monitor the changing consortium effort and skills.
  2. The current consortium leader (GL) discussed the mandate given when the current management team was setup in 020 to ““Lead the DAQ team through the FD DAQ design phase up to the FDR.”
    1. Since that mandate has now been achieved, GL has decided to step back as consortium lead and allow the consortium to pick a new leader to move forward.
      1. The chair on behalf of the consortium thanked GL for her efforts over the last four years.
  3. The chair outlined the process going forward: forming a search committee comprising the chair +4/5 people; soliciting nominations; interviewing prospective candidates; holding an election by the consortium board at the earliest in February
    1. A member asked who could be nominated as the next consortium lead, the answer was any member of the consortium although the search committee will need to assure themselves that any prospective candidate has sufficient technical and managerial expertise and sufficient time to devote to the role.
    2. A member asked about the voting method, it is not prescribed but some version of instant runoff will be used if there are more than one candidate.
    3. GL pointed out the search committee should include a representative of the DUNE management.
  4. The meeting adjourned after 25 minutes.
