Issues to be discussed Worldwide Application Database to be put online and integrated with a (or more) Science Gateway(s) → Eager users and good infrastructure are not always co-located → Use of the AAI created; Define a common strategy of action, and related events, with GISELA in Latin America (the least «visited» region so far); continuous contacts have to be maintained with CLARA to define a road-map; Actions to increase the number of responses to the survey; definition of a «plan B» in case the responses will be less than expected → Use of the Knowledge Base ? Define CHAIN contributions to Ubuntunet Connect 2011 (Nairobi, 23-25 November 2011); the dead line of the CfP is the 30th of June (500 words max); Define CHAIN contributions to the EGI Technical Forum (Lyon, 19- 22 September 2011).
