    I would suggest that people don't get ahead of themselves with the Federal Government panels. The Commonwealth Government is extraordinarily slow at anything outsourced cloud related. The fact-sheet for the Data Centre Facilities Supplies Panel suggests agencies should allow 18 to 24 months prior to a requirement to move in to a new datacentre: http://www.finance.gov.au/sites/default/files/DCFSP - Fact Sheet - September 2014.pdf

    MAQ got ahead of themselves by overestimating revenue from Government and had to back peddle through two earnings downgrades due to slow Government revenue realisation...

    Having said all this, this week there was a quiet release of a cloud policy 'Cloud adoption streamlined for Government' from Minister's Cormann, Turnbull & Brandis: http://www.financeminister.gov.au/media/2014/1008-cloud-adoption-steamlined.html - the easier it becomes for Government agencies to use cloud and data centre suppliers, the greater the uptake, even if the uptake occurs at a glacial pace.
