Hi Michael, All, I think there are two issues at hand, and were touched on in the call a couple of weeks. On the one hand, we want to raise the profile of the activity among RENs across the globe. Ryan and I recently gave a presentation on the map initiative at a CEO Forum meeting, and it was suggested that a marcomms campaign be planned to promote the activity and our interest in wider participation. Marcomms teams are a big stakeholder in maps, so making sure they are aware is important. They can also help promote within their organisations as well as provide useful input. Secondly, there is also the wider promotion. There is some discussion of a where an overall visualisation would be hosted, a website, etc. These elements all concern Marcomms so again, getting them involved in discussions is I think appropriate. I hope this clarifies a little. Please note that I will unfortunately not be able to join tomorrow's call, as I will be taking the afternoon of to spend it with my son on his birthday. So to all, please do let me know who from your Marcomms team should be invited to an introductory call, so I can get a doodle set up. Thanks, Tom From: Michael Stanton <michael.stanton(a)rnp.br> Sent: 10 September 2021 20:21 To: Tom Fryer <tom.fryer(a)geant.org>; Gren-mapping-wg(a)lists.nordu.net Subject: Re: GREN Interactive map promotion Hi Tom I wonder whether it is not a little precipitate to go so very public before offering more elaborate visualisation tools than the extremely simple ones currently available. It has been clear from the beginning that the primary intention of the initiative was to provide solid mechanisms to define a geographical location-sensitive database, and this seems ti have been achieved. However, the visualisation question has so far been shelved, and we need now to discuss more elaborate means of presenting our networks in a visually useful way. The question to ask now is how may this be achieved in such a way that marcoms may more easily incorporate products of this more elaborate tool. This will be a second phase of the mapping project, with new expertises. When do we begin?

Over a number of calls in recent weeks, we have been discussing taking the map to the next level, for which increased engagement at a global level is highly desirable. In order to consider ways to best promote this activity, we would like to arrange a meeting specifically to discuss setting up a "campaign" to encourage greater participation. The plan then is to arrange a meeting to discuss with interested Marcomms representatives from those already participating in the collaboration, but also to invite Marcomms representatives from those not yet closely involved (e.g. the regional networks in Africa and Asia-Pacific). To start looking at timings for the discussion, could you please let me know who I should reach out to in your respective Marcomms teams? Many thanks, and have a good weekend!

TNC demo video and questions
by Dan Sellars 18 Jun '21

18 Jun '21

Hello Everyone, We have a video ready and uploaded to the TNC conference software. In the working group meetings we have mentioned having some questions lined up to get the ball rolling for the Q&A. If you have any in mind then letting us know before end of day will give us chance to have a look over them. The video is about 13 min so we do have time to answer some questions. Also if there is something that you would like to highlight with a question, I would suggest getting it in the chat earlier so we see it. Ryan and I are going to have to manage the chat ourselves, I believe, so I would like to make sure we see them. I hope you enjoy on Monday! Best Regards, Dan.

NORDUnet GREN Map data
by Lars P. Fischer 15 Jun '21

15 Jun '21

Dear WG, After an introduction from CANARIE, we have tested out the sandbox at NORDUnet. We have done (early, alpha) code to extract network data from our network inventory database and export in GRENML format. It’s not fully automatic yet, but 95% there + a bit of handholding. Having the sandbox to create local displays to check the export is a big help in this process. We have rounded most GPS coordinates to 4 digits. In addition, we have some “secret” sites, so those a placed at an arbitrary “center” point of a city. We’re internally quite impressed; there’s clear potential in aggregating this process over the networks in our region. Once past the TNC demo, I will approach the Nordic NRENs to see if we can do a similar exercise. /Lars ![](cid:046E324E-780B-40B6-9CBA-15899A7412A4@nordu.net "image001.png") -- Lars Fischer - Strategy & Policy, NORDUnet lars(a)nordu.net, +45 2288 1729, @lpfischer
