The next meeting is to be held on 15 November 2011 at 9:30am GMT. To participate, please contact Brian Jones b.jones@surrey.ac.uk)

• User comments
• Results of Round table review meeting
• Round-robin actions
• Quantity and quality of user publications
• Relevance to industrial products (industry only)
• The quantitative performance of individual infrastructures in terms of the delivered user access
