My understanding Geoffrey was that any activity aimed at developing and
sustaining a grid community was and is an activity in a community programme.
I find it hard to understand the distinction between a meeting of a
community group which is, at least in part, trying fulfil that obligation
and a meeting in the ³community programme². I agree that ET-CG has plenty of
flexibility about when it meets, compared with some other activities that
you wish to cluster. The value of including some of the *-CG activities
within the cluster of your community programme should be considered.
I still find it a complete semantic mystery how the phrase ³community
programme² doesn¹t include the meetings of the community groups.
But no problems now <((-:}
