All duties listed in this section are mandatory for ROD team. In the case of no explicit 1st Line Support team in the NGI, duties of that team must be absorbed by the ROD.

A new ROD member needs to follow the procedures in the procedure for joining ROD teams .

Handling tickets

The main responsibility of ROD is to deal with tickets for sites in the region. This includes making sure that the tickets are opened and handled properly. The procedure for handling tickets is described in section Handling tickets.

Putting a site in downtime for urgent matters

In general, ROD can place a site or a service endpoint (i.e., a host) in downtime (in the GOCDB) if it is either requested by the site, or ROD sees an urgent need to put the site into downtime.

ROD may also suspend a site, under exceptional circumstances, without going through all the steps of the escalation procedure. For example, if a security hazard occurs, ROD must suspend a site on the spot in the case of such an emergency. It is important to know that COD can also suspend a site in the case of an emergency, e.g. security incidents or lack of response.

In both scenarios, it is important that communication channels between all parties involved are active.

Notify COD and EGI CSIRT about urgent matters

ROD should create tickets to COD in the case of urgent matters. For security related issues, 1st Line Support and/or ROD should also notify the CSIRT duty contact.
