The questions regarding the work of SMONET concerned the following:

• The meeting in the middle of February for the NGNI members. Is that meeting important for us? This meeting concerned NGNI members and is a special review meeting for the working results from the projects which must be discussed with the European Commission.
• Should we meet us in Brussels? Maybe it is necessary and useful if we do so. We can discuss it till January.
• Billing for the project? DECOIT will prepare one cost statement for his company and send it to CGEY for easier handling if the deliverables has been finished.
• New proposal for billing? CGEY will prepare one page as a short abstract with open problems and an overview about billing mechanisms in next generation networks. If the document is ready we will discuss this issues with the NGNI members

The next meeting will take place on 14th December. EMORPHIA has problems to take part on Fridays, but will let the partners know if there is any problem with the next meeting. BIBA has to take part at the next meeting, because the WP03 has to be discussed!
