5. Governance/Sustainability Activities $600K award from Sloan Foundation to prototype functionality for non-consumptive research HTRC Exec Management Committee: Beth Plale (IU), chair; Robert McDonald (IU), Marshall Scott Poole (UIUC), John Unsworth (UIUC) Advisory board 90% in place MOUs in process Laine Farley is liason to HT Executive Committee

6. Looking forward HTRC needs access to large-scale compute resources to meet expected demand Needs operational staff, monitoring and audit capabilities User community support Requires continued attention to long-term sustainability beyond Phase I
