Dear All:
As a follow-up to Gerben's invitation, sent on 4 May at 9:39pm UTC, to
participate in one or both of the GNA-G Community VCs, I am reaching out
to you asking you to *register* for one or both of the VCs that you plan
to participate in.
We know this is a little more hassle for you now, but we trust that this
contributes to the stability and well-being of the meetings themselves,
preventing Zoom-bombing and other possible disruptions.

Dear All:
The GNA-G Leadership Team received a number of questions on preparedness
of R&E Networks to deal with the increased usage of online services in
the area of Research and Education, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
We created a survey to harvest information on what you are doing in your
own service area, with respect to the network and its operations. The
aim is to collect this information to discover trends and best current
practices, so we can learn from each other.
While universities and schools worldwide are closing their doors for
physical classes, many state that their core business of teaching and
learning will continue online. The R&E Networks of the world have a
crucial role to play, more than ever, in supporting the universities and
schools in ensuring continuity.
This survey is focusing on the network and its operations, although we
acknowledge of course that the breadth of services that an NREN provides
is usually much broader than the network. This is GNA-G, hence the focus
on the network.
Please take a moment to fill out the survey. The Leadership Team will
summarize and make input available to the GNA-G Community, as of next
week when we expect to have a first critical mass of useful answers.
The survey can be found at:

Thank you, and be safe.
Kind regards,

Dear GNA-G community,
Since the COVID-19 outbreak we are experiencing many meeting cancellations – and although video conferencing isn’t the real deal, we would like to bring together our community during these difficult times.

(for both meeting slots)
1. Opening and welcome 10’
