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

Dear All: Hope you are doing well, in these bizarre times of the COVID-19 pandemic. A couple of weeks ago, the GNA-G Leadership Team sent out a survey on COVID-19 Network and Operations Readiness. We received quite a number of responses, but we are interested to hear from more of you. It will not take much of your time, and your response could help others. If you have not done so yet, or if you have additional information you'd like to share, please fill out the survey at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/GNA-G-COVID-19-Readiness During the course of next week, we expect to be sending a summary of the responses to this list. We hope that your input will be in there as well. Thank you!

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.
