Dear all,
The call for GIN co-chairs has resulted in the nomination of
Thomas Soddeman, DEISA, and
Dane Skow, TeraGrid
Both have accepted their nominations so we from now on have 3 co-chairs
of GIN.
We now start the preparation of the upcoming f2f meeting on March 14 and
hope to be able to send a draft agenda out early next week. In the
meantime I remind you to register using the link below.
Best regards,
-- Erwin
