---++ Reports from the Projects

---+++ <nop>ArVO

---
---+++ AstroGrid (UK-VO)

Since our report for TM33, we have submitted a proposal to STFC to support the creation
of the AstroGrid Software Foundation, as an open source project to maintain and
develop the AstroGrid technical infrastructure suite. We will welcome software contributions
from other VO projects and data centre staff, as well as ex-AstroGrid staff on continuing EU and UK VO-related projects.  The proposal has been submitted
under "urgency procedure" so we hope for an answer soon. 

Meanwhile, it is worth repeating that we have made a full documented release of the infrastructure software, which can be found at http://deployer.astrogrid.org . This is intended for both data centres and other VO projects. As before, the astronomer user-software is downloadable from a separate site, http://www.astrogrid.org

---+++ NVO 

NVO remains in a state of very constrained activity as we wait for NSF to release the promised funding for the VAO.  Progress is being made in resolving legal issues concerning the relationship between the agency and the VAO, LLC, the new organization founded by AUI and AURA to manage the VAO.  However, given that all previous expectations of progress have not been met, we are reluctant to predict when VAO will really get going.

On the other hand, NASA's initial contribution to VAO is now funded, and in the absence of an overall project plan (which cannot be completed until the NSF funding is in place), we are engaged in core maintenance and support activities such as registry curation and service testing and validation.

US VO staff continue to hold weekly technical telecons on a best-effort basis.

We have recruited a VAO Science Council, but that body will not convene until we have resolved the NSF funding issues.

We have also established a VAO Board of Directors, which met by telecon in July and will meet again by telecon later in November.  Dr. Jay Gallagher (U. Wisconsin, and editor of the Astronomical Journal) is the chair of the VAO Board.

---+++ Applications WG 


---
---+++ Data Access Layer WG 
DAL remains focused in three main areas, TAP, SIAP and Footprint Services with most focus on the first two.

Progress in TAP is slow but positive. The standard is just completing its second RFC period and I believe the core requirements have been met. Editorial changes will be completed once the RFC period ends and I look forward to completing the process during the Garching Interop.<br>
As a footnote, TAP V1.0 will not be perfect, but it is implementable, does fulfill the 80/20 rule and will provide the basis for future expansion of TAP capabilities. As an organisation, IVOA needs to be agile in accommodating those changes.
