The current focus of IVOA activities is within the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.asterics2020.eu/" title="ASTERICS">ASTERICS</a> project. This is a e15million 4 year EU project which co-ordinates data handling aspects of the key ESFRI projects - ELT, SKA, CTA, KM3NET. The Euro-VO partnership leads workpackage 4 (DADI - Data Access, Discovery and Interoperability) We are just about to hold the next of our long running "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.astron.nl/asterics/doku.php?id=open:wp4:wp4techforum1" title="Tech Forum">Tech Forum</a>" meetings, which will now include representatives from those major planned facilities as well as VO specialists. We are very excited about this new project both because it provides significant funding and because we are sure that close liaison with facilities and missions is crucial for the future of the VO.

On 3<sup>rd</sup> September 2015 three South African Universities launched the Inter-University Institute for Data Intensive Astronomy (IDIA [[http://www.uct.ac.za/dailynews/?id=9342]]) with support from the South Africa Department of Science and Technology. IDIA will develop capacity for big data management and analysis over a variety of disciplines. It is a spin-off of the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) project and its founding director is Prof Russ Taylor. We are considering how IDIA and SA<sup>3</sup> should interface to maximize their reach and impact.

A new version of the SIAV2 PR has been produced and this will now enter a further TCG review phase. This addresses largely editorial comments that were made during the previous review but also the so-called Sesto agreement about syntax. The RFC period for UWS 1.1 ended on August 8th and the editors are currently addressing comments received. Spectral 2.0 is ready to enter RFC as is the VOEvent Transport Protocol. A TCG telecon is planned for the week of Sept 14th.
