Session Abstract

The GigaPoP and RONs Coordination BoF has been organized as an affinity/communications session open to the Internet2 community. Managers from across the gigaPoPs and RONs and program managers from within Internet2 are welcome to attend the BoF. The purpose of the BoF is to provide a regular, ongoing forum for peer networking, information sharing, and generally fostering open communications. The BoF's primary focus is on programmatic - rather than technical - issues, such as member outreach, expanded access models, Internet2 membership policies and procedures, communications tools, etc. We would also like to extend an invitation to members of The Quilt to join the meeting and welcome Quilt member contributions to the discussion. (NB: The Quilt will continue to hold a separate Quilt BoF that will focus on issues of specific relevance to Quilt members. See program for further details.) A tentative agenda and topics for discussion will be posted soon. For any questions about this BoF, please contact Heather Martinson or Ana Preston.
