The US VO project remains stalled as we await NSF funding.  There has been some progress, however, in recent weeks, and it would seem that release of funds is imminent.  Of course, we have had this impression a number of times in the past.

In the interim we are proceeding, using NASA funds already in hand, to maintain our core services and run regular testing of aliveness and compliance of VO services.  We are also going ahead and convening the VAO Science Council, the group that will advise us on science priorities.  The Council will meet at NASA Goddard on March 26-27.  We are preparing presentations describing possible development activities in seven areas:  1) a cross-matched "master catalog" and advance cross-matching tools for users, 2) support for rapid transients, 3) much more extensive linking between data and publications, 4) robust data discovery and data mining, 5) a extended set of VO-enabled tools, including visualization, 6) integration of theoretical simulations and simulated observations, and 7) development of a "seamless" astronomical research environment.

The members of the Science Council are drawn from the US astronomical community and represent a variety of types of organizations and research interests.  Several members have long-term connections to the VO, but most are from outside the VO project and we hope will bring a fresh perspective.

Unfortunately lack of dedicated resource, i.e. more than just when I have a few minutes spare, has meant that the planned activities for this recent period have been fairly curtailed.  However, we have still managed to complete the final edit of Credential Delegation Protocol and start the TCG review period of Universal Worker Service (UWS). It is hoped that VOSI and WS-I will have their RFCs announced soon and we can then focus on VOSpace 2.0 development.

----+++ Data Curation and Preservation IG

The DCP IG has basically been inactive for the past year, but DCP activities are now getting under way such that we can expect the IG to regroup.  In the US, NSF's <nop>DataNet program has now funded two projects, <nop>DataOne and the Data Conservancy.  The latter is lead by Johns Hopkins University and has a direct NVO/VAO connection.
