[E-research] Status of groups within the OGF e-Research function

[David Fergusson]

Hi David,

For the Education and Training Community Group, the group is close to  
finishing the publication of its information documents (mainly in IEEE  
channels, final paper to appear next month).

The plan for the group is to consider its future in the next few  
months. There has already been a suggestion of re-chartering with a  
broader user support remit
which has come from a couple of user sources.

The expectation is to be in a position to organise a meeting to  
discuss this at OGF 27.

David
