There are several processes we need to work out:

•  modifying recharge formula

• buying from new vendors and novel hardware. Relationship to Lance's alternate vendor search?(*)

• keeping CD informed of upcoming purchases, and setting priorities if needed to resolve bottlenecks.(*)

• evaluating licences and deciding who pays(*)

• CD to consult directorates on resource changes affecting scientific computing.(*)

• getting SCSC input into the Operations Directorate Agenda and the Operations Directorate Strategic Business Plan

• Annual reviews of CD Scientific Computing and M&S expenditures(*)

• technical design reviews(*)

• for CD to consult about projects within the Unix/storage team. 

• How do we handle SLAs?

• We also need to document this list as part of an SCSC "execution plan". We should also think about standing reports and metrics to the SCSC.
