WP1 - Management
- Second GENUS trimestral telecon on 18 of June 2015.
WP2 - User community
- 06/2015 Marese (ASDC) provided a LL document on the planned WP240 Seamless data retrieval across archives and wavelength domains
- 06/2015 Michele Fabrizio selected for WP240 1 yr contract at ASDC will begin in july 2015
- 06/2015 ASDC organized a workshop on cross-matching in different wavelength domain, from gamma-ray to FIR.
- 06/2015 Solano put Marese and Francois-Xavier Pineau of FP7 Arches in contact - someone from Genius will attend the Arches end of program conference in Paris
- Costigan has lead the development of ideas for the simple archive interface, through telecons (15th June) and wiki enteries (http://wiki.cosmos.esa.int/gaia-dpac/index.php/CU9:960:Simple_Archive_Query).
- Costigan has worked on estabilishing Beta testing alongside with N. Hambley and G. Garcia. This mainly included a detailed review the use case scenarios (AB-026), their implementation status, and possibility of testing with the current data sets available. This has been written up (GCO-002) and is awaiting further review from other parties.

Once the Editorial Board gave the OK to the portal design, further steps have been done:
- Gaiaverse's mobile optimization.
- Mozilla, Chrome and Internet Explorer optimization as to achieve better performance.
- Introduction of multilingual contents and revision of the previous ones according to the comments submitted by the Editorial Board.
A Gaiaverse's Twitter account has been created, whose objective is to reinforce the portal dissemination around and establish users engagement from the very beginning. This Gaiaverse account will complement the GENIUS project account.
Gaiaverse is planned to be launched in the beginning of July.
