  1. Moving Forward - Positives A thriving, ambitious and large-scale pilot project in AfricaArray. Compelling science and societal rationales can be justified; many commonalities. Favorable technological resource trends (e.g., communications, community facilities). Growth in formal and informal community networks. Demonstrated benefits of data sharing; multiple data sharing models exist. Receptive (or at least not overtly hostile) support and funding organizations.

  2. Challenges (1) Open data exchange still a challenge in many regions (or multiple reasons). Critical mass of seismologists/geophysics programs an issue in many countries. Heterogeneous training needs, methodologies, and training providers, not presently well coordinated.

  3. Challenges (2) Effective programs require multiple successful components, including: Supportive institutions (Universities, Agencies, Governments). Adequate sustained funding. A nimble framing strategy that connects multiple goals and opportunities in effective cultural context. Long-term leadership and professional commitment (and patience).

  4. Next Steps -- Timelines • Immediate (follow-up from this workshop) • Short-term (next few weeks) • 2008 (Meetings, proposal opportunities) • 2008 -
