Membership conversations over past year APPEC (Astroparticle Physics European Consortium)  Requested to be added to interactions.org contact list. CERN advised that APPEC is not a good fit for interactions membership; advised accordingly. RIKEN (Japan)  Inquired about the collaboration; invited to this meeting as observers. Explained that Interactions is for institutions with leading roles in particle physics. University of Tokyo Institute for Cosmic Ray Research  Expressed interest to Yoshihisa but have decided to wait. Attending as observers. April 20,

Potential institutions to approach in 2015 Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF)  Will be host facility for the DUNE far detector. Have a communications & outreach person onboard. Unclear if they are ready for membership, but candidate to invite as observer to fall meeting. SNOLAB (Canada)  Site for future dark matter experiments. Have a communications & outreach person onboard. Candidate to invite as observer to fall meeting. Re-start search for Brazil contact to invite as fall meeting observer? April 20,
