6. WP1-Activity Meetings  General: 2-4 July 2006, Capri: Kick-off meeting 27-29 June 2007, Athens: First year`s general meeting  Steering Committee: 6 Dec. 2006, Potsdam 19 April 2007, Vienna 27 June 2007, Athens  Executive Committee: 28 June 2007, Athens  Special: 5-9 June 2007, Cairo Jochen Zschau (general coordination) Kevin Fleming (shake map) Max Wyss (real-time damage assessment) Klaus Winkenwerder (decision support system)

7. WP1-Activity Major Decisions and Clerifications  Scientific Advisory Board: Nomination of candidates Raul Madariaga (seismologist, France) Kyriazis Pitilakis (civil engineer, Greece) Scientific advice and external scientific audit!  Amount of First Payment: 100% of the first year`s budget (1.5 million Euros) from 85% of the first 18 months` budget (1.9 million Euros)! Problem of the 70% rule!  Interim Management Report: Necessary and possible!  Deliverables and Milestones: Time can be shifted within the 30 months project duration! But indicate new deadlines and explain!  Shift Between Financial Categories: person., travel, consum.,.. Is possible, but you have to explain!

8. WP1-Activity Website (in Association with WP6)  General Project Information  Management Circulars  Minutes of Meetings  Handbook of Administrative Management  Available Deliverables, Reports, Presentations  Publications  PR-Activities  Participant Coordinates (…Photos?...)  Communication?
