D4.6 DRAFT TOC
==============


Several EC projects supporting technology provisioning for EGI, will reach an end during the course of 2012 and 2013. The plans for a continuation of technology provisioning activities for EGI are different across the technology providers and for each product currently provisioned to EGI.

The technology provider sustainability plans have an impact on the end-user communities, the EGI operations service portfolio and operations procedures. 
This document analyzes the affected areas and identifies mitigations and actions needed.
