   • decide the way the activities will be continued in EGEEIII
   • update procedures (especially VO registration) accordingly
   • monitor if the activities are running properly
2. Organize the central seed-resources pool
   • prepare conditions for a tender
   • prepare and update all related procedures
   • prepare SLD related to a VO running on central seed resources pool and to sites contributing to this pool,
   • support VOs allocated to central-pool of seed resources in the process of resource allocation,
   • monitor activity and development of VOs allocated to seed resources
3. Work-out a scalable model of resources allocation for the EGEE infrastructure that would be applicable both to large and to small VOs and cover all areas listed below:
   • core infrastructure services for the VO (e.g. VOMS, LFC, ...),
   • seed resources (both central and regional pools),
   • "permanent" resources (i.e. VOs that would like to expand the number of sites/resources supporting them),
   • "campaign" resources (i.e. large-scale resources for short-term calculation campaigns).
4. Providing reports about:
   • resources allocation process,
   • usage of seed resources both in central and regional pools based on accounting and related commitments.
