This deliverable picks up from RDA TIGER D5.1 Definition and handbook of the Facilitation Service, documenting how the Facilitation Service for the RDA TIGER project has been implemented up to the halfway point of the project. The deliverable outlines how the anticipated stages, tasks and activities described in D5.1 have been realised in practice, and the lessons learned so far from the feedback that has been received and from those Working Groups (WGs) who have availed of the service. Particular attention is paid to the Facilitation Service stages described and detailed in D5.1; whether they have accurately predicted the type of support needed by the selected WGs and whether any additional or amended tasks are required.
