Information for TTC Members
The charter for TF-MNM came up for renewal in September 2014. There was consensus in the community to continue TF-MNM, but also a feeling that some changes were needed. It is increasingly unclear where TF-MNM sits in the structure of other work being carried out in the mobility area. There is a desire from many places to make TF-MNM a global eduroam forum, but this competes with other groups set up for eduroam such as the (european-only) eduroam Steering Group. There was also a paper from the Global CEO Forum that proposed introducing another such group and a meeting was held at TNC2014 to try and prevent more duplication of effort.
A new draft terms document has been proposed and is attached. The ToR is ambitious and has set concrete deliverables. This will require more manpower to be put in the MNM space than has been typical over last couple of years. The proposals are drawn from a meeting in Vienna in December 2014 so fully reflect the current thinking of the MNM group.
