“The Initial Operating Capability phase (IOC) will last for up to 12 months, with a target launch date in May 2008.”

“The IOC will allow the community to gain practical experience with many issues that have been under discussion during the early development of the GCI”

Key issues: long-term cost implications, systems operations and maintenance, proprietary vs. open-source concerns, single vs. multiple Portals and Clearinghouses, access procedures, … and user community requirements.
