During this session, the GPO will discuss and demonstrate the prototype GENI Clearinghouse, and a web portal for experimenters to reserve GENI resources through the Clearinghouse.
At GEC13, the GENI architects ratified the GENI software architecture. GENI resource reservations will be coordinated by a GENI Clearinghouse that contains multiple software components. This Clearinghouse will be ''the'' source for GENI accounts and credentials, when it goes live some time around GEC15. Experimenters will primarily interact with the Clearinghouse through a new web portal, which uses !InCommon single sign on. 

We will demonstrate the prototype portal and discuss future directions, integrating other experimenter tools, and solicit feedback.
