- JP: Rucio specific tests on GitHub actions, with fake MetaCat server
      and DUNE policy package
      Troubleshooting some problems with date formats in MetaCat
- WL: Identified Lancaster xroot door not problem due to upgrade during DC24
      Working on dump file list at each RSE for consistency
      Monitoring work, ultimately for shifters
      Internal Rucio monitoring

Manchester
----------
- AM: Moved justIN to Alma9 containers in advance of DC24
      Increased fault tolerance when MetaCat, Rucio, HTCondor are overloaded
      Added support for multiple HTCondor schedds for scaling
      Added support for services spread across multiple hosts
      
RAL-PPD
-------
- CB: Support for HTCondor during DC24, including increasing resources 
      available to central services

      Fermilab
      Looking at monitoring
QMUL
----
Ok

Lancaster

Ok

Data management review
----------------------
WL: UK Storage still at ~same level (3.3 PB)

PC: At IRIS RSAP, lack of DUNE use of 100TB tape allocation 

AOB
