Introduction

This is the second deletion round and supports the Data Retention Policy/Procedure in ensuring capacity is available for new observations by removing the oldest, and/or least valuable data in the archive.

  •  Prepare wiki pages containing details and summaries of data which is proposed for deletion: 15-Nov-2024
  •  Deletion announcement sent to MWA members via email and four week consultation period start: ??-Nov-2024
  •  Four week consultation period end: ?? December 2024 at 23:59 AWST
  •  Sign off: TBA
  •  Commence deletion: TBA
  •  Deletion complete: TBA
