The second meeting of the Data Analysis Coordination Committee was held at MPI, Heidelberg, 6-7 October.Under the chairmanship of Francois Mignard, with co-chair Coryn Bailer-Jones, the structure of the Gaia DPAC (Data Processing and Analysis Consortium) was revised slightly, with the resulting coordination units (CUs) with provisional leaders as follows: CU1: System Architecture (William O'Mullane); CU2: Data Simulations (Xavier Luri); CU3: Core Processing (Uli Bastian); CU4: Object Processing (Dimitri Pourbaix); CU5: Photometric Processing (Floor van Leeuwen); CU6: Spectroscopic Processing (David Katz); CU7: Variability Processing (Laurent Eyer); CU8: Astrophysical Parameters (Coryn Bailer-Jones); CU9: Catalogue Access (to be activated nearer to launch). Provisional work breakdown structures are being advanced for all units, representing all steps foreseen for the data analysis.
