Ref. | Status | Who | Action | Comment |
20140219-6 | OPEN | TTC | Re-consider a joined task force meeting in 2016 | To be revisited |
20140929-3 | UPDATED | AS | ISM SIG to provide charter with more clearly defined and elaborated objectives | AS sent an email with the changes made so far. TTC questioned the proposal that ISM SIG could be a closed group. AS informed that the group intends to be fully opened up later and that it is not entirely closed - CERN can apply and the steering committee would decide case by case. TTC felt that if there is selection, clearer criteria are needed. However, SIG is not a TF – it should be more open and inclusive, especially because no sensitive information to be shared on that list. Action (updated from 20140929-3): 1. AS to convey the comments of the TTC to the Steering Committee 2. TTC to continue this discussion online. |
20140929-5 | CLOSED | MN | Explore alternative VC meeting system for the TTC members to use | Either technology depending on the room can be used - problem with the end side, so if anyone wants to participate remotely, we can discuss it with them separately |
20141105-01 | OPEN (Discussion postponed) | JD PDOs | Improve TFs’ communication by using (TERENA) social media channels in a coordinated way
| a) a strategy to reach the unknowns (Comms staff - JD to share some ideas during the next TTC); b) a way to make the outcome of the community work easy to read for everybody. Each PDO is encouraged to share the main results of the TFs via social medias.

...
NH also noted that a new plan is in place for this year.
34.5. AARC – Licia Florio
LF reported on AARC (Authentication and Authorization for Research and Collaboration) - a two year project, funding for which (€3M) has recently been granted by the EC. 19 funded partner organizations will contribute to AARC. At the moment the project is in the grant preparation phase, some details need to be improved.

...
It is expected that if all required documentation will be signed in time, the project will start on May 1, 2015.
34.6. MAGIC – Brook Schofield
BS reported on MAGIC - the successor to the successful ELCIRA project (http://elcira.eu) which will expand its geographic coverage during its 2015-2017 lifetime with €1.4M in funding across 20 global partners to support eduroam, Federated Identity and eduGAIN (WP2), Cloud Provisioning and GroupWare (WP3), Real-Time Collaboration services such as SIP, NRENum.net and WebRTC (WP4) and supporting Global Science Communities (WP5).
34.7. E4ERA – John Dyer
JD reported that E4ERA bid for the EC funding was not successful. The main idea of the project was bringing together e-Infrastructures providers with the users. JD noted that there is a meeting scheduled to discuss how to proceed and whether there is a way to go on with the project in some other way.
34.8. TF-MSP Joined procurement – John Dyer
JD reported that at the moment, much procurement is done individually, although bringing them together would give a larger bargaining power. To discuss a possibility of joined procurements a meeting is being organized in March in Amsterdam.

Also, a wiki page supporting this activity is currently being created - information will be made available for everyone from the community (access will be given upon request).

56. Greenhouse project – Licia Florio and Nicole Harris
...
NH also noted that it is important to identify the right approach – there is a need to better understand what to focus on, looking at the projects that are not funded by the GÉANT Project, to have something that is community driven as a starting point.

...
TTC strongly supported the idea and encouraged further collaboration.
