Tomorrow is the last day for group co-chair nominations! Best regards, -- Erwin Erwin Laure wrote:
Hi,
This is a reminder for two important activities for the future of GIN:
* Please come forward with nominations for the group co-chair by Feb. 20.
* We'll have our f2f meeting for revising the charter and planning the future on March 14. We try to have a video link available as well.
**Please register for the event at http://indico.cern.ch/conferenceDisplay.py?confId=12489 **
and indicate whether you will intend to come in person (we need this information for the site access cards). I've tentatively blocked 10:00 to 18:00 but more details on the agenda will follow.
Cheers,
-- Erwin

Hi,
Many thanks to all of you who contributed to GIN over the past year and who were present at the very interesting discussions at OGF19. We had a very good interaction with the HPCP folks which probably could serve as a model for future interactions with standard groups.
We also had a BoF-like session to discuss the outcome of the questionnaire and the future of GIN. There was a unanimously consensus that GIN should continue!
You can find the slides of both sessions at https://forge.gridforum.org/sf/tracker/do/listArtifacts/projects.gin/tracker...
As we decided that GIN should continue we have to do some formal things:
====================================================== Confirmation/Election of Group Co-Chairs and Secretary ======================================================
As discussed in the OGF19 session, I'm happy to continue my involvement in GIN as co-chair, however, Stu Martin had unfortunately to step down as second co-chair. I'd like to thank Stu for all his efforts in moving GIN ahead and I hope he will be able to follow and support our activities in the future as well.
We hence need to elect a new co-chair. Please send nominations to the list by Feb. 20.
We also need to confirm the group's secretary. So far this has been Cindy Zheng, who unfortunately couldn't be with us at Chapel Hill. So we need to confirm whether Cindy is still available or other people would like to volunteer. Again, please come forward by Feb. 20.
============== Revise charter ==============
The original GIN charter was only valid for the first year. We need to revise it by the next OGF meeting in Manchester. In order to do so, we've decided in Chapel Hill to have a GIN F2F meeting at CERN, Geneva, Switzerland on Wednesday, March 14. Details will be sent out in due course but please block this date in your calendar.
Best regards,
