1) General

   - The working drafts of ADQL and Skynode interface are still
     under preparation. The due date was Nov 15 in the last year.
     We needed more time to generalize and finalize the documents.
     We would like to finish them in June(?).

   - The updated ADQL schema will be preseneted at the Victria meeting.
     Some modification is made for simplifying the strucure and 
     for fixing some minor problem. 

   - The ADQL-Light, which conforms to the ADQL core specification,
     is under prepartion and will be presented at the Victria meeting.

   - Standardization of the content of a returned VOTable is under
     preparation and will be presented at the Victria meeting.

   - We would like to finalize how to describe the specification of 
     the xmatch functionality on the Victria meeting. Which algorithm 
     should be mandatory for the cross-match skynode ?

   - ...

2) JVO

   - SkyNode toolkit has been released at the following URL:
         http://jvo.nao.ac.jp/download/skynode-toolkit/
     JVO has released three versions after the last IVOA meeting.
     New version will be released before the Victria meeting.

   - The degree of the conformance to the standard SQL is beeing
     investigated for several major DBMSs (Oracle, PostgreSQL, 
     MySQL, SQLServer, DB2...). It is also investigated that 
     how the object data types are treated on those DBMS.

3) NVO

   - *** Maria will fill here after she comes back to work. ***

4) others

   - Nothing from other projects.
