On the UK spectrum I would suggest - reiterating the long term vision of all significant uk resources being on the NGS. Backed up by - PPARC approval of GridPP for next 4 years and work within gridpp to get sites to affiliate/partner - Hector to be (at least) and NGS affiliate and support NGS interfaces - PPARC HPC call requiring a specific case for why any funded activity should not be a part of NGS (ie assume NGS as default) - In Europe, inform everyone of the work toward the EGI. Some useful slides could be taken from Deiter Kranzlmullers talk which can be found at http://www.e-irg.org/meetings/2007-DE/workshop_abstracts.html The main points here would be to emphasize that there is strong support across Europe for this sort of infrastructure (something will happen). Within the UK STFC has been asked, by UK e-Science Directors, to represent the UK in EGI design study. If you want you can even show the video ... http://www.eu-egi.org/videos.php (the target audience for which is decision makers, not scientists per se.
