Current status is not as expected. Many countries still do not provide any dataset from priority dataset list. All MS are reminded about the possibility to discuss technical issues in the geoportal helpdesk.
Specific reasons for slow progress and national action plans should be communicated to DG ENV and discussed at the up-coming MIG meeting.

Summary SDW discussions & follow-up actions
Work in progress. Further work will depend on willingness of interested participants.
Michael Lutz drafted and presented short paper with summary of proposed ad-hoc actions:
Form an ad-hoc group of MIG-T members to prepare a guidance document on how data sets and services are being linked in current ISO MD and how links are created in the INSPIRE geoportal. [DK, FR, DE, BE, PL]
Form an ad-hoc group of MIG-T members to draft a proposal to amend the use of the resource locator metadata element in the Metadata IR for discussion by the MIG in June. [NL, CZ, FR, DE]
Form an ad-hoc group of MIG-T members that will monitor progress of WFS 3.0 standardisation and implementation. The group will report regularly back to MIG-T and will make recommendations for discussion with the MIG on concrete follow-up actions to be included in the MIWP, e.g. a coordinated testbed or the creation of new TGs based on WFS 3.0. [FI, UK, DE]
Form an ad-hoc group of MIG-T members that will draft a good practices paper on making data discoverable through mainstream search engines. This work could potentially be supported by a contractor. [PL, IT]
Investigate and document current practices in MS and compare/categorize them. [BE, FI, IT, DK]
Several countries expressed willingness to work on particular actions (see in parentheses above).
