Chris,
I am already rallying the troops! We will be meeting at RAL in 2 weeks time to discuss resurrecting the Disc Infrastructure C4 bid that went in unsuccessfully at the start of 2009. DCC were involved in that (a logical extension of Manjula's work) and we would like this to continue! Obviously at RAL there is David Giaretta et al too...I will be looking to carve that proposal up into at least 2.
Best,
Simon.

This important call has just been announced by JISC; the DCC has a
significant role in the Programme (see paragraph 31), which we will
be expanding on later.
