Dear VO managers

In 2013 the EGI core activities have been selected by the EGI Council as critical for the support of the EGI production infrastructure. The goal of the selection was to ensure sustainability of critical components of the infrastructure by dedicated founding not depending on any project. Since April 2014 EGI Core services are provided by selected through bidding process EGI Partners.

EGI has prepared a survey targeting EGI Virtual Organizations' contacts (VO manager) which has the goal of assessment what is the impact of the services on Virtual Organizations, and if the priorities defined almost two years ago are still valid: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/EGI_core_services_VO_assessment

Please, discuss together with your team the survey and provide - possibly - one answer per Virtual Organization. We are looking forward for your answers till: 1.05.2015

For every service we will ask you the following questions:

* How much has this service been used by your Virtual Organization. * Is this service critical for the operations of your Virtual Organization?

In addition we will ask you to assess other services which are not part of the EGI Core services group to understand if they should be taken into account in next period.

The output of this survey will be used, among other inputs, to define the set of core services that will be planned for provisioning starting from Spring 2016.

Thank you for filling in our survey. Your input is very important for us to support you.
