DISCUSSION
COmanage in Production - LIGO/KAGRA
COmange is in production for one of the LIGO MOU partnerships.http://www.ligo.org/partners.php
This is a single COmanage instance serving LIGO and KAGRA
The KAGRA project aims to construct and operate a single 3km baseline cryogenic interferometer underground in Japan at the Kamioka mine.
The entrance portal for this COmanage instance is at: http://gw-astronomy.org
So far, about 40 people have enrolled using COmanage, and results have been good. The enrollment flow went well, with information passed into LDAP.
The fact that most KAGRA participants are coming from a single IDP results in a relatively simple workflow.
No-Cost Grant Extension
A one-year no-cost extension for the SDCI grant has been approved.
Internet2 and LIGO will finish using their funds by end of 2013, give or take one month.
That leaves iPlant and eduroam to continue into next year.

First Responders RFI
COmanage is part of the Internet2 response to the FirstNet RFI.http://www.ntia.doc.gov/press-release/2013/firstnet-issues-rfis-technology-nationwide-wireless-broadband-network
David Walker has been writing parts of the RFI, and his experience with CoCoA via the MFA Cohortium was useful.
