FP6 * The EUMedGrid final review was held in Brussels on 6th May 2008. At the review, the significant increase in the use of gLite in 2007 in the Mediterranean region was highlighted. This was largely due to the activities of the project in the region. The project received "Good to excellent" mark, with minor updates of some deliverables and reports, none of which involve CERN. * The EUChinaGrid final review was held in Brussels on 7th May 2008. The reviewers noted several major contributions of the project (gLite-GOS interoperability; IPv6 work with EGEE and ETICS; new China-EU route from June 2007 improving round-trip time by 50%), which unfortunately have not been adequately documented in the deliverables. Consequently, several deliverables and final reports need to be updated to reflect these achievements. None of the updates involve CERN. The project received the "Acceptable" mark. FP7 * BalticGrid-II and GridTalk Grant Agreements signed by the DG. * BalticGrid-II and SEE-GRID-SCI kickoff events in May, short articles on these events will appear in the next issue(s) of CNL. * BalticGrid-II PJAS identified, contract preparation underway. * Ongoing discussing with TT on the specification-of and IP issues concerning the use of GridCafe in GridTalk.
