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