Dear GNA-G Community member,
The GNA-G Nominations Committee (NomCom) is accepting nominations for the GNA-G Leadership Team (LT) through 23:00 GMT 31 March 2025. The LT has eight vacancies.
Introduction
The current Leadership Team consists of six seats for co-chairs: Buseung Cho (KISTI), Harvey Newman (Caltech), David Wilde (AARnet), Ivana Golub (PSNC), and Alex Moura (KAUST) with one vacant seat left by Marco Teixeira (RedClara) last year. Alex is still in his 1st term and will continue in this role. Harvey, Ivana, and David have indicated they are willing to serve the LT for a second term. They will follow the NomCom process alongside any other nominees. This email will outline the details of that process.
The GNA-G Terms of Reference (ToR) have been changed recently allowing an LT of up to nine members. For that reason, we are now filling eight vacancies. The new LT members will be elected for a 48-month (4-year) term.
Anyone working in the R&E networking community is eligible to serve in the LT. The NomCom will be looking for candidates with technical competence, organizational skills, or relevant experience in guiding and setting community direction. In filling the open positions, the NomCom considers age, gender, geographical location as well as R&E networking experience to ensure that the global community is well represented on the LT.
What does it mean to be an LT member?
The LT looks after the long-term evolution of the networking layer of the Global R&E Network (GREN) and provides oversight to the GNA-G Working Groups. The LT also manages the GNA-G website and consults with the Executive Liaison from time to time. For more information see https://www.gna-g.net/about-us/.
The LT meets by VC on a regular basis, to discuss progress, issues, and community meetings. Due to the global nature of the GREN, the work in GNA-G means a VC out of office hours, due to time zones. Also, the full GNA-G Community meets every now and then to discuss developments and next steps at global events as much as possible, which may involve occasional intercontinental travel. There is no reimbursement for serving on the LT, as this is deemed a community service supported by your home organization.
How to get nominated?
Any member of the GNA-G Community may nominate any member of the GNA-G Community for the open positions; self-nomination is permitted. A nomination is only complete when supported by at least one other member from the community, from a different organization, participating in the GNA-G, than the nominee. In addition, the nominee must accept the nomination.
A nomination can have two forms:
1. You can nominate someone + get a second from a member of the community + have the nominee accept the nomination; or
2. Nominate yourself + get a second from a member of the community.
You must indicate why you want to join the GNA-G LT. Nominations should be sent to: nominations(a)lists.gna-g.net<mailto:nominations@lists.gna-g.net>. Accepted nominations will be made public to the GNA-G community.

Hi all,
Some advance notice: we will be running an in-person side-meeting at the TNC25 conference in Brighton, UK. It’s confirmed and in the program for Friday 13 June, 9am-12.30pm.
(https://tnc25.geant.org/programme/)
So, if you’re going to be at TNC, please make sure you stay for Friday!
Our side-meetings at TNC each year have been very well attended and lively. We’re working on developing the agenda – please reach out to the LT with suggested topics you’d like included.
On a related note, we’re also running side-meetings at APAN59 in Yokohama, Japan, and at Internet2 Community Exchange in Anaheim, USA. Please come along, if you’re at either of those conferences
Full details will go up on the GNA-G events page https://www.gna-g.net/meeting/ as we finalise them.
And finally, thanks to all who attended the first of our two Community VCs this week – we had some great presentations and discussion. We’re looking forward to seeing more of you on the second call tomorrow! (Kickoff at 9am UTC on Thu 13 Feb.)

Hi all,
We had pencilled in a pair of VCs for next week to present the successful demonstrations and advances showcased at the recent SC24 conference… however have decided that it’s a bit too ambitious to squeeze them in at this time of the year. We’ll push these calls back to late January, and will send out calendar invitations to block them off in your calendars over the next week or so.
As we enter the holiday season, we’d like to thank all of you for your enthusiastic participation and support over 2024, and we look forward to a fantastic 2025!

Hi all –
Just a reminder that we have the second VC of this month’s Community VCs in a little under 24 hours from now.
The first VC was terrific, with insightful presentations from Geant, Internet2, & AARNet about their experiences going to the market for their backbone network refreshes, plus Ana Alves provided a great update from the Security WG.
Full details here:
