- SIG-NGN progress - Rob Evans and Brook Schofield
RE: Dubrovnik meeting was not very productive - did not have enough time to come up with good agenda. Ideas , difficult location. However, ideas on the SIG were presented and got a lot of interest and discussion.
Question about the funding was raised - no funding as of yet available.
Support Support to go forward was expressed, but there is a need to have another meeting next year with more time for preparation - good agenda and carefully selected time and location.Anyone Anyone who is interested can participate.
BS: RIPE liaison must be restored. BELNET will host a FOSDEM workshop in January, covering some SDN/NFV topics - proposals can be submitted, but also a meeting can be scheduled before/after the meetinghosted by BELNET, as the people interested will be there.
VN: could host a stand-alone meeting at the GÉANT offices - to see whether enough people would be interested and ready to invest into it.Amsterdam office - that would signal the intention of the community. STF meeting is expected in Amsterdam, option for co-location.
- Implementation considerations to the GEANT Community Programme - Valentino Cavalli
VC presented the ToR for adoption by the GA during the next meeting. If adopted, it will be managed by the Executive Team
Framework for community based initiatives.
GÉANT Community Committee (GCC) will replace the TTC. Executive, having listened to the GCC, will make decisions.
GCP will mainly focus on Task Forces, SIGs, Workshops, and Collaborative projects.
GCP will be an advisory body, formed by 6-8 members appointed by the board and a Chair elected by the GÉANT GA.
Meetings would take place minimum 3 times a year, and once a year would hold a meeting with the board.
If ToR is approved, GCC Chair needs to be elected - elections possibly carried out online.
Chair then would identify the potential members of the group and make suggestions to the board.
VC proposed to expend the existence of TTC until the new group is established to assure continuity.
VN announced that he will be a candidate to become the Chair.
LD suggested that perhaps there is a possibility of formalising the online platforms as a new thing that GCC could focus on. VC explained that ToR won’t be changed at this time, but it can be done later.
VN plans to organise the first meeting early next year. New people will be invited and some perhaps will stay the same. Would like to not have everyone starting from the beginning in March - shift people in so that there is not situation where everyone needs to be re-elected at the same time.
