     Our group has not been very active in the last year or so.
I would like to begin discussions again on how we can best
serve our user communities and the IGS by ensuring that data
continue to flow through various channels despite outages of
a data center, at any level in the hierarchy (global, regional,
or operational). We have had several instances recently where
a data center was down and some data were not made available
because of the outage. Also, there are instances as shown
below where files are delivered but not propagated through the
data center chain.

     If you recall, we had a detailed plan presented during
the Darmstadt workshop:
ftp://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/resource/pubs/06_darmstadt/IGS%20WS%202006%20Papers%20PDF/5_Bruyninx_posppr_proceedings_final.pdf
Following the workshop, efforts to generate an implementation
plan did not get off the ground. I would like to ask the group
to revisit this plan and come up with ideas on how to implement
the proposed steps, or a subset of them, in order to provide a
more redundant, robust data flow. We can entertain new ideas as
well. It is important for the data centers, working with the IGS
Infrastructure Committee, to address this issue.

     My goal is to have clear steps in mind prior to July's IGS
Workshop; there will be a data center/data flow presentation that
would be the best place to outline concrete steps for solving our
problems. I have also proposed that we hold a DCWG splinter
meeting at the workshop. Any suggestions on other topics to be
addressed during that meeting are welcome.

Regards,
Carey.
