Operational reports 7.1. 14 test boxes have been sent out. 6 are operating and the others are coming on line. By the next meeting 20 will be operating. First publishable results are expected by the time of the next RIPE first results.
General response is very positive.
Before the end of this year the number of staff working on this project will also be increased. It turned out that they want funds collected by a third party. The first decision was to let Switch maintain it. The second decision was that if there were tax complications, RIPE should do it. The final decision was that Switch should maintain the financial part.
