3. Continuation Funding

Continuation funding has been agreed in principle by JISC, subject to agreement on a proposal. ILRT have changed cost basis for JISC projects so UKOLN will need to review how development work is carried out within the project. ILRT have interest in Web Services and would prefer their involvement in future work to be focused in that area.

RH: to liaise with JISC regarding project proposal, to ensure ILRT are informed of future arrangements for development work.

4. Date of Next Meeting
