[GNA-G All] R&E Network COVID-19 Network and Operations Readiness Survey

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.
