Dear All:
(pardon the X-posting).
As announced earlier, in just three weeks time, the Community VCs of the
Global (R&E) Network Advancement Group (GNA-G) are scheduled to take
place. The aim of the Community VCs is to:
* Bring ongoing progress and advancements to the attention of the
worldwide R&E Network, Science, and Computer Science communities;
* Foster deeper engagement within and among the communities, bringing
mutual benefit for more effective operations now, and for the future
vision of next generation networks and workflows;
* Synergize the efforts and leverage the progress of the GNA-G Working
Groups and discover new opportunities for advancement while avoiding
unnecessary overlaps;
* Provide a wide-ranging focus and synergy, tools and services for the
global ensembles of research and education networks, present and future;
* Sustain the conversation and maintain forward progress in the time of
the pandemic, and deal with the ongoing transformations it will leave in
its wake;
* Providing opportunities to join one or more efforts through our
working groups and sustain and strengthen our global mission.
Registration for the Q3 2020 VCs is open. You can register for one or,
if you want, both VCs, using the links below. Please note that
registration is required in order to be able to participate.
VC #1: Monday, 14 September 2020 2pm – 4pm UTC (most suitable for
participants from North America, Latin America, Africa, and Europe; this
is the former date of the GNA-G face to face meeting in Reykjavík, Iceland).
Registration link:

Zoom VC(s) to your calendar.
The GNA-G Q3 2020 Community VCs are planned to have a lot of
interactivity, as a couple of presentation will be prerecorded and made
available in advance of the Community VCs, for watching at a time
convenient for you. More information on this and a detailed agenda will
be sent closer to the meeting.

Dear GNA-G Community members,
It was great meeting up virtually in May, thanks to all of you who attended one or both VCs!
*New website and slides available*
The slides are available on the brand new GNA-G website, please visit:
https://www.gna-g.net/resources/presentations/
And please also take some time to discover the new website. Your feedback will help us further improve the site, and increase its usefulness.
*Last planned F2F meeting of 2020 canceled*
Recently, NORDUnet decided to postpone their NORDUnet Conference 2020 (originally scheduled for 15-17 September 2020), to September 2021. This implies that the last planned GNA-G F2F meeting of 2020 will also not take place, after APAN and the Internet2 Global Summit meetings were canceled. More information at:
http://www.nordu.net/article/nordunet-conference-2020-%E2%80%93-new-dates
*Save the Dates*
At the end of the May Community VCs, we asked your opinion on the frequency of upcoming meetings given that the ongoing pandemic would prevent any and all community events to be either canceled or postponed. The most popular outcome was to organize one set of virtual community meetings on a quarterly basis.
We have now scheduled the next two sets of GNA-G Community VCs as follows:
Q3 2020:
VC #1: 14 September 2020 2pm – 4pm UTC: North America, Latin America, Africa, EU (the old date of the GNA-G F2F in Reykjavík)
VC #2: 15 September 2020 7am – 9am UTC: Asia, Australia, NZ, Africa, EU
Q4 2020:
VC #1: 7 December 2020 3pm – 5pm UTC: North America, Latin America, Africa, EU
VC #2: 8 December 2020 8am – 10am UTC: Asia, Australia, NZ, Africa, EU
Please note that the agenda for slot #1 and #2 for each quarterly meeting will be exactly the same. We are planning two meeting slots close to each other in time to accommodate for global attendance.
On behalf of the GNA-G leadership team,
Gerben

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:
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/GNA-G-COVID-19-Readiness
Thank you, and be safe.
