1. NOMCOM Volunteers Needed
The first of several deadlines is approaching for the 2006 Nominations

NOMCOM will end.  Participation on the NOMCOM is your opportunity to help

affiliation, telephone number(s), and email address to the NOMCOM Chair, 
Sven van den Berghe (Sven.vandenBerghe at uk.fujitsu.com), not later than 
Saturday November 26, 2005. Please put "NOMCOM volunteer" in the subject 
line. For more information on the NOMCOM, please visit

2. GGF16 Event and Hotel Registration Open
Join us in Athens for the 16th Global Grid Forum hosted by Greek Research 
and Technology Network (GRNET). The 4 day meeting will take place at the 
Divani Caravel Hotel ideally situated in the heart of Athens.  For more

hotel reservation deadline is November 30, 2005.

3. GGF16 Community Call for Participation
Building on the success of Community Programs at GGF14 and GGF15, the 
Community Program at GGF16 seeks to build new and strengthen existing 
communities of interest in GGF. GGF is comprised of a number of 
"communities of interest" who either are users of grids in their domain or 
develop innovative approaches to perceived roadblocks to the adoption of 
grids. Send us your suggestions by visiting us at 
http://www.ggf.org/GGF16/suggestions/ggf_events_communitySuggestions.php.
