This report gives the evaluator's view of the project at the end of each full year of the project. It must cover all results from the project including contributions from participants at events who are not project staff - and input from end-users (in our case judged as students and staff on OER projects we study). The dilemma is always to produce the report late enough so that the full year can be evaluated yet early enough that the next year can be affected – we suggest 1 month into the next year, i.e. one month after the end of the previous year.

The evaluator works separately, thus it is not required (and indeed would be wrong) that the project team would "ratify" the evaluation report before it is produced. It is crucial that the evaluator makes recommendations, not just criticisms, and provides mechanisms for the partners to transform these recommendations into concrete action plans for the next year - and at the end produces some recommendations for future similar projects.
