3. Key points from Q&A (1 of 2)
NGI International Liaison
A Non-operations contact
Knowledge of key activities and personnel throughout NGI
Virtual Team Projects
Short-term, targeted projects that start and finish
Project ideas come from the community and notice of NGI's willingness to participate is communicated by NILs
EGI.eu supports providing initial clarity to proposed idea prior to circulating to NILs only, non validity of proposal
Mechanism for issues that are felt to be important from the community, which allows for effort to be recorded for that work
No minimum # of participants
Important only if objective of proposed work can be carried out in the stated time period
Timeframe of projects = 1 month, 3, 6, etc.
It can evolve, but projects are expected to start and stop
