1. WP1 – Project Management Start M0, finish M36 CIP lead Progress to date & plans for next 6 months: –Deliverables –Financials –Audits

2. Sums Distributed Errors on audits and form C’s for CIP and Avanex resulted in variance to planned fund distribution. This needs to be corrected on the next form C. (In order to correct last year we will need to show the difference between year 1 actual cost and the figure incorrectly stated on the year one certificate as an adjustment on this years C form

9. Next 6 months WP3 & WP4 still main focus –Expect electronic controls and firmware to be delivered (Aug/Sept) –Expect first iteration of hybrid circuits (Aug) and designs completed for second iteration including integrated memory loop Need to decide on final demonstrator –WP5 will start M27 although activities underway WP6 –Scalability in terms of speed (line rate), complexity (number of gates per device) and rule checking scalability WP7 –ECOC08 –Discussions with system companies to gauge level of interest in optical pre-processing
