Hi Rich, You have started something that I was going to email about anyway - just I have had meetings for most of the day so far. I have advised people that I view the main body of the document as public but not the appendix until I have explicit agreement from the people whose emails I included there. So these people are: - Robert Kingham - Jarvist Moore Frost (who might to ask permission from the people whose comments he included) - Dave Clements - Err.. you Rich and Robert Kingham again. So if these people reply saying that hey are happy for their comments to be public then the whole document is. However, even without this the main body is as this is a summary of a departmental meeting and these should be open by their very nature. Best, david On 09/06/2020 11:55, Bantges, Richard J wrote:
Hi David & Physics Dept. Computing Reps,
I just wanted to check that there aren’t any objections to sharing the contents of the summary from yesterday’s meeting with other Departments?
Please let me know if there are, otherwise I will forward David’s summary to Suhail at the end of today, to give him an overview of the concerns from some of us in the Physics Department.
I think Robert’s earlier comment about our “cost” of reacting to proposed restructuring of ICT is incredibly insightful!
Best wishes,
Rich

Dear Richard/Jeff
I am the Rep for the Dept of Life Sciences and look after the
computer systems for a number of research groups here. In
addition, I am involved in IT teaching for UG & PG students.
Therefore, very dependent on ICT and HPC support. The worst
aspect of these proposed changes is to see our ICT colleagues
jobs on the line.
I have seen the Open Letter (which I will sign) and your comments.
As with yourselves I am extremely concerned with the proposed
changes and in particular the (unbelievable) timing. *May I please*
*trouble you to CC me in any general communications/meetings, *
*especially those requiring support*.
At the moment I am trying to understand the practical implications
of these changes and talking with various people. Any further information
would be invaluable.
Regards
Suhail
