Progress of SA1 issues

A new issue was identified affecting SA1 activities in PQ11: https://rt.egi.eu/rt/Ticket/Display.html?id=4981

A survey conducted in September 2012 indicated that a small percentage of NGIs improved its funding structure, as requested to compensate for the end of EC financial support to national operational activities in April 2014. Mitigation. The impact of the current funding position of NGI operational activities will be assessed in a new survey in February and the outcome will be reported in the annual assessment of the NGI international tasks due in PQ12. In addition, a new survey was opened in PQ11 to collect expressions of interest of NGIs in federating their operational services with other partner NGIs. EGI.eu will support NGIs interested in this service provisioning model with its coordination function during PY4
