PJM

John/All

Shall we define the explicit PJM policy and put it in this web page: Remote Observing Policy

• Combination of policy, enforcement, design work, software work can all address PJM burden.

• Need to clearly state PJ mode on policy page

  • 2 person rule (for VNCs, unlimited Zoom access)

  • OS support is linux and macOS only (requires python 3.6+)

• Wording in call:

  • “At-Home (“pajama mode”) Observing: During the pandemic, Keck will support up to two observers for at-home observing: one primary and one secondary observer. At-home observing requires the installation of software which only runs on linux and macOS operating systems. At-home observers will be contacted by Keck staff and should work with this staff to install and test the software several days ahead of their run to allow time for troubleshooting.”
