The EURO-VO Science Advisory Committee (SAC), which provides 
scientific advice to the project, met for the third time on 
June 18 at ESTEC, Noordwijk, The Netherlands. SAC members were 
updated on the latest EURO-VO developments. The meeting agenda

In the framework of the Joint European and National Astronomy
Meeting, JENAM 2007, held in Armenia on August 20-25, a two-day 
EAS Symposium on "Science with the Virtual Observatories" took 
place (http://www.aras.am/JENAM-2007/EASsymp08.htm).
EURO-VO astronomers participated with various invited talks.

The workshop "Astronomy with Virtual Observatories", which will 
see an active participation of EURO-VO scientists, is to be held

NVO team members D. Tody and J. <nop>McDowell completed their terms as chairs of the IVOA Data Access Layer Working Group and Data Models Working Group, respectively.  M. Graham has been appointed as chair of the Grid and Web Services Working Group, and R. Hanisch has been appointed as chair of the Data Curation and Preservation Interest Group. 

E. Schreier and R. Moore have resigned from the NVO Executive Committee, and G. Fabbiano and T. <nop>McGlynn have agreed to replace them.  Pepi and Tom bring extensive experience from the perspective data center operations.

The NVO data discovery portal tiger team has been working to refine the requirements and develop a design for a new primary interface to VO resources.  Our goal is to make this interface available to the user community in January 2008.

Much effort has gone into the NVO Book, a compendium of lectures and tutorials from the NVO Summer Schools and other background materials.  The book should be ready to send to the publisher, the Astronomical Society of the Pacific, by the end of July.

R. Hanisch submitted a proposal for a session about Virtual Observatories and Internet-enabled research collaboratories to the AAAS annual meeting (Boston, February 2008).  This proposal was accepted.

The complete report of NVO activities for the period April-June 2007 is available at http://www.us-vo.org/pubs/files/FY07Q3.pdf.
