Subject: Procedure for joining the grid

Dear REQUESTER NAME,

currently there is no ROC which covers your geographical location
therefore the CERN ROC, which acts as a ''catch all'' ROC, will be your
ROC. Our contact e-mail address is: egee-roc-cern@cern.ch

Before explaining the procedure we bring to your attention the fact that we require you to sign your candidature with your personal certificate.

In order to become a participating site in the grid, in accordance with the EGEE Site Registration Policy & Procedure
(https://edms.cern.ch/document/503198), we require the following:

''The Site manager at the candidate site contacts the relevant ROC,
giving " a statement of acceptance of the policy documents.''

This method of acceptance is given in section 3.2:

*''Policy Acceptance Agreement''*

The designated candidate Site manager MUST provide a statement, by
signing their candidature with their personal certificate, that all
administrators and other necessary personnel at their site will be
informed of and agree to abide by all relevant Grid operating policies.

The Site Security Contacts and team members will be informed of and
agree to follow the LCG/EGEE Security Incident Response procedure and
the relevant Open Science Grid (OSG) Guide.”

We remind you that the links for the relevant grid operating policies are here:

http://cern.ch/proj-lcg-security/documents.html and
http://cern.ch/proj-lcg-security/sites/for_sites.htm

If any of the above is not clear or if you require further assistance,
please do not hesitate in contacting us at the e-mail given above, which
I repeat here for your convenience egee-roc-cern@cern.ch

Best regards,

YOUR_NAME for the CERN ROC team
