Laura,

We need to assemble this and send to to gin-wheels.

Yuji, can you send to the gin-info list as to NAREGI's contribution has
been (also Hitoshi).

I'd like to hear from each of the areas what progress has been made  
in the past few months.  My concern is (always, with any group) that  
it's so easy for GGF groups to settle into the mode where work gets  
done only in the 3-4 weeks prior to a GGF meeting.  And all too often  
even that work only consists of organizing verbal exchanges at the  
meeting (i.e. just talking) or window-dressing.

I'm not saying this is where GIN is at, but it is after all the  
equilibrium point for any collaboration!  I would rather that we are  
ruthless in self-evaluation of our work (even though the context is  
that we are all friends and doing good work in our day jobs!)

In this context, then...   What have we accomplished?


Charlie's Progress Report
* In March I contacted the people who volunteered resources to GIN,  
asking for contact names and info.  I received responses from less  
than 1/4 of the 20 people who stood up in Athens and pledged  
support.  I did not follow up
* At GGF in May I exchanged words with people.
* At TeraGrid'06 in June I exchanged more words with people.
* I have told lots of people about GIN.
* (none of the above is particularly useful, so an alternate report  
would say "I've done nothing concrete")

What have others done?

CeC
