<br>
 
= Overview  =
 
The document describes the process of '''permanent''' deregistration of Virtual Organisation (VO) from the European Grid Infrastructure (EGI).<br>
 
The focus of this document is on the tasks that VO representatives and the EGI staff have to accomplish in order to deregister given VO. The purpose of this page is to capture the VO deregistration workflow.
 
As a result of this procedure members of the VO will not be able to access EGI resources through given VO membership e.g. storage, computing resources, virtual machines.
 
This procedure applies to VOs which reached PRODUCTION status as a result of [[PROC14|PROC14 VO Registration]].
 
 
The VO deregistration workflow is composed by two processes:
 
#The validation of the deregistration request
#The actual deregistration
 
The second part is performed only if the deregistration request is '''accepted''', if the request is '''rejected''' the VO status is not modified by this procedure.
 
= Definitions  =
 
Please refer to the [[Glossary|EGI Glossary]] for the definitions of the terms used in this procedure.
 
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", “MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in RFC 2119.
 
= Entities involved in the procedure  =
 
The main players participating in the VO deregistration procedure are:  
*'''VO manager (VM)''': person who is responsible for initiating the registration process.
*'''VO supervisor''' '''(VS)''': person delegated from the EGI Operation team to handle the process on behalf of EGI project and is responsible for the approval of VO registration requests.
*'''VO users (VU)''': members of VO
*'''Resource Centres (RC)''': The resource centres supporting the VO resources.
*'''NGI Operations Manager''': person in charge of National Infrastructure
 
The tools available to support the deregistration procedure are:
 
;The EGI Help-desk (GGUS) - [https://helpdesk.egi.eu link]
;The Accounting Portal - [https://accounting.egi.eu link]
;The EGI Operations Portal- [https://operations-portal.egi.eu link]
 
= Steps =
 
== Request validation  ==
 
The following entities can submit a deregistration request for a VO through a GGUS ticket:
 
#VO Manager (VM)
#VO Supervisor (VS)
#VO User (VU)
#NGI Operations Manager
 
A request submitted by the ''VO Manager'' does not require an assessment of the VO usage.&nbsp;

| Requester
| '''Submit a GGUS ticket''', specify in body of the ticket: "Please assign to the VO Services Support Unit", including the deregistration request. The ticket must contain the following information: <br>
*Role of requester (from the list above)
*Motivation of the request
*Assessment of the VO activities in the past year

#'''Validate the request '''
##Validate the requester identity
##If the requester is the VO Manager, the request is accepted, and the following steps can be skipped
##If the requester is another entity, the following steps must be performed
#Communicate to the NGIs (Operations Managers) that a request has been submitted
 
|-
| colspan="3" | Steps below must be performed only if the requester is not the VO Manager of the VO.
|-

| VOS
| '''Assess the VO activities during the last 12 months'''. To accept the request the requirements are: <br>
*The VO has not produced any accounting data for more than one year. Data available in the ''[http://accounting.egi.eu/custom.php custom view]'' of Accounting Portal
*The VO has not produced any data flows for more than one year. Data available in the ''[http://gstat2.grid.sinica.edu.tw/gstat/vo/ Gstat VO view]''
 
If the two conditions above are not satisfied the request is rejected, and the following steps can be skipped.

| VOS
| '''Notify the VO Manager about the pending request of VO decommission: '''<br>
*Open a GGUS ticket vs the VO support unit (if available).
*Contact directly the VO Manager using the contact in the VO ID card.
*Both GGUS ticket and the mail sent to VO Manager must contain the following information:
**Details of the request
**The deadline to provide feedback on the request (min 1 month).
 
|-

| VOM
| '''VO Manager should discuss the VO deregistration request within the community and provide a feedback '''
#Discuss the deregistration request within the VO community and provide feedback in the GGUS ticket or via email, within the deadline.
#*If the community still needs the VO, VO Manager should provide the motivations to reject the decommissioning
 
|-

| VOS
| '''Record in the GGUS ticket the decision''' to approve or reject the request <br>
#The request can be approved if:
#*The VO Manager did not reply and he did not provide any feedback before the deadline
#*The VO Manager agrees with the proposal
##The GGUS ticket can be used for the deregistration procedure
#The request must be rejected if:
#*The VO Manager provided feedback and motivations to reject the decommissioning
#*Following step can be skipped
##The GGUS ticket should be closed

'''Provide a snapshot of the resources supporting the VO'''
#List of grid services
#List of files registered in the VO's LFCs (alternatively storage space used by DN)
VO Manager can retrieve these information by himself from GSTAT ([http://gstat.egi.eu/gstat gstat.egi.eu/gstat]), or ask support to the LFC service administrator. If it is no possible to retrieve the information, or if VOM considers this step unnecessary, it can be skipped.

#'''Send a broadcast to all the VO users''', specifying:
#*A link to the master GGUS ticket opened at point 1
#*The timeline for the deregistration (minimum one month from the broadcast)
#*The VOMS support is being stopped in one month (minimum), after end of support users will not be able to request a proxy to access the grid services
#If there are other VOs accessing the VO data (and only if VO Manager provides this information):
#*Send a broadcast to the VO Managers of the affected VOs containing the same set of information, asking them to directly coordinate with the VO Manager to retrieve the relevant data

| 3bis
| VOU
| '''Users may ask for an extension of the deregistration timeline ''' <br>
*The request MUST be submitted within 10 days from the broadcast, answering the main ticket.
*The request SHOULD be supported by technical reasons (e.g. the amount of data stored in the SEs is too big to be moved within the end of the procedure.
|-

| VOM
| '''After 15 days of the previous broadcast, send another broadcast to the VO users ''' <br>
*If users did not ask for an extension, send a broadcast as a reminder (with the same information as in ''step 3'')
*If users asked for an extension, send a broadcast with the new timeline

| VOM (alternatively VOS)
| '''Open a GGUS ticket to "VO Services" requesting the status change of the VO to "suspended"''', the ticket must be a child ticket of the master ticket. <br>
*If this step is carried out directly by the VOS there is no need to open an additional ticket, but the action must be recorded in the master ticket
|- valign="top"

| VOM (alternatively VOS)
| '''Broadcast to site managers that the VO has been decommissioned''', adding the following instructions/information: <br>
*The link to the GGUS master ticket
*If the resource centre is supporting the VO, it could be disabled in the services' configuration
*Logs have to be maintained as long as requested by the traceability policy
|- valign="top"

| VOM (alternatively VOS)
| '''Broadcast to VO users that the VO has been decommissioned''', adding the following information: <br>
*The VO status will be set to "deleted" in 2 weeks, after this operation the VO will no more be visible in the Operations Portal
*A link to the master ticket
Link the broadcast text in the master ticket <br>
|- valign="top"

| VOM (alternatively VOS)
| '''Open a ticket vs the "GGUS" support unit in the EGI Helpdesk system, requesting the decommissioning of the VO support unit, if this support unit is available'''. This ticket must be a child ticket of the master ticket <br>
*The decommissioning of a VO support unit differs from a regular support unit in GGUS, and the technical actions have not been yet defined by the GGUS team.

| VOM (alternatively VOS)
| '''Open a GGUS ticket to "VO Services" requesting the status change of the VO to "deleted"''', the ticket must be a child ticket of the master ticket. <br>

| Additional notes
|
|
#VO Manager and VO users must manage their tools (such as mailing lists, monitoring tools, portals) separately, and they are out of the scope of this procedure
#If the VO provides tools for the users access to the grid resources (for example science portals or user interfaces), logs must be retained as requested by the [https://documents.egi.eu/document/81 "Grid Security Traceability and Logging Policy"]
