Close Out

• The start of this project began with the
  acceptance of the original WTF plan by the Team
  Co-Chairs, which occurred on 15 October 2002. The
  Project is designed to develop prototyping of
  WGISS components of WTF for WGCV requirements.
  When the Project Co-Chairs are satisfied that the
  requirements have been met and the Project has
  become operational, the Project, Core Site WTF,
  will cease. The proposed end date for the current
  WTF is September 30, 2005. An operational WTF,
  with its host agency involvement, needs to be
  operational by September 1, 2005 to provide a
  30-day service overlap and ensure continuity of
  service. - From Project Plan
• Probably occur in 2006.
