12:20 a.m.
Hi all,
We’ve locked in the timeslots for the upcoming Community VCs, which will be focused on the
Working-Groups. These are intended to be an opportunity to discuss and throw in new
ideas, and to identify what’s going well and what needs work – so come prepared for a
chat!

GNA-G Community VCs Q1 “a” 2023

Registration Link:

(Full details here: https://www.gna-g.net/attend-a-meeting/gna-g-community-vcs-q1a-2023/)
Three new proposed WGs will also be introduced, with a call for participation:
* GREN Engineering Advancement – aimed at identifying how we can collaboratively agree
on and standardise ways to operate GREN links better (ANA, AER, etc)
* Subsea cable sensing and smart cables – a forum for technologies, deployment and its
implications, data gathering, security, and research engagement.
* GREN vulnerability risk review – we’ve recently seen outages due to sabotage. The
Global NREN CEO Forum has asked the GNA-G community to do a review of the GREN to review
its resilience to outages, whether accidental or malicious, and identify potential weak
spots which could benefit from additional redundancy or security.

GNA-G Community VCs Q1 “b” 2023
Two weeks later, Harvey Newman will be hosting a single VC with a deep dive into the
AutoGOLE/SENSE and Data Intensive Sciences WGs, with discussion around SC22 & SC23
activities.
Again, this is intended to be very much a working meeting, rather than a series of
presentations.
VC: Tuesday, 28 February 2023, 3pm-5pm UTC
Registration Link:

Subject: Welcome to 2023, and "hold the date"
Hi all,
On behalf of the Leadership Team, welcome to 2023! I hope that this coming year is
productive and fun for all of you.
At the last Community VCs, we pencilled in a pair of upcoming VCs for this week to be
focused on Working-Group updates. We’ve decided to push this back a month to give us a
bit more time to prepare. In order to have enough time for each Working-Group, we’re also
planning on running two pairs of VCs.
Please pencil in 15 February 6-8 am UTC and 8-10 pm UTC for the first pair of VCs. Event
page with registration links is at
https://www.gna-g.net/attend-a-meeting/gna-g-community-vcs-q1-2023/
The second pair will likely be on 28 February, however we’re still finalising the best
time-slots for this one.
Looking forward to seeing you then!
Regards,
David
