It was great meeting up virtually in May, thanks to all of you who attended one or both VCs!

*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:

*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
