Dear GNA-G Community,
We are glad to inform the entire community that our Diversity Statement has been published on the GNA-G homepage [https://www.gna-g.net] as a version 1.0*:
“We truly believe in diversity and inclusion, as the first G in GNA-G stands for Global and we are all about collaboration. Not only for participation within Working Groups of the GNA-G, also for the (co-)chairing a Working Group and for being active in the Leadership Team.
The commitment of the GNA-G is to strive for inclusion across race, gender, age, religion, identity, country of birth, country of citizenship, and experience.
Through diversity in the GNA-G participation, we connect Research & Education communities all over the world. Together, we’re further enhancing the Global Research & Education Network.
We encourage equal participation on all levels of the GNA-G.”
Best regards,
Gerben - on behalf of the GNA-G Leadership Team

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

convenient for you. More information on this and a detailed agenda will

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
