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.

convenient for you. More information on this and a detailed agenda will
be sent closer to the meeting.
