20170906 - Task Force and SIG Coordination Meeting

SIG-ISM: meetings planned 2 times a year.  October in Brussels .  Running out of time before October meeting. 

SIG-TNE: meetings are mostly happening not in Europe.  Can we fund Sigita to attend the meeting as well.  Should.  ACTION: Sigita to add SIG-TNE KPIs to the list: SIG KPIs.  

TF-CSIRT: TRANSITS: in-house training demand but that is resource consuming.  Looking at e-learning options.  Actively seeking more TRANSITS trainers.TI contract signed.  Biggest problem continues to be the size of the meeting. 

SIG-NOC: looking to resubmit a proposal to the GCC on the training programme.  Could we look at the capacity building programme?  Looking for some initial funding - can we just use money out of NA3 T5 for this?  ACTION: Nicole and Annabel to look if we can make a change request for supporting the SIG-NOC training request.  Looking to see if the community could be extended to make sure that we get more people in.  SIG-NOC + STF meeting??   APM managers tends to be more of a top down approach and used to be a closed group so we would need to make sure that these fit together. 

TF-RED: officially started in March.  All Hands VC and various SC meetings have been held.  Progress on the KPIs is happening.  Can we get more of the eInfrastructures involved?  ACTION: Charlie to update the TF-RED wiki page with new SC members. 

TF-GDPR: all hands VC in summer face to face in Berlin in August. 

SIG-CISS: new establishment of several old areas (storage, cloudy stuff). Having a meeting in September, technical focus, good infrastructure engagement. 

SIG-Multimedia:  lots of time being taken up by project activities.  Try and shift the relevant areas towards a new TF / SIG on education.  Useful for people that are not in the closed circles of the project(s). Half day meeting at symposium / TNC.   Demonstrations have been one of the core activities. 

SIG-MSP: MSP in Dublin in September (education focus).   Meeting coming up in London in January. Plan is to move the responsibility on to the new GÉANT Project Manager.  Managed to attract different participants. 

SIG-SCOPE: has sent an annual report out to the GCC.   There is some proposal that this might be be added back into GN4-3. ACTION: Nicole and Nadia to talk to the current SIG-SCOPE participants. 

SIG-Marcomms: joint meeting at TNC: participation from Asian countries and EAPconnect.  Not having a third meeting. Opportunities with AsiaConnect?

SIG-NGN: no life.  NGN aligned with STF previously 

ACTION: Brook to email Annabel about STF and bottom up activities. 

ACTION: Sigita to set up a meeting to demo mentimeter to all TF and SIG coordinators. 

Communications plan 2017 / 18

• Blogging
• Use of wiki vs website
• Parallel themes for groups

• Broadening participation: could we do some targeted messaging around why people attend, perhaps some interviews. 
• SIGs as project exposure route: it is still hard to get that view if you are not a project participant. 
• Have a look at google analytics to see if there is specific information available.
• Updating the website: we need to look at the current groupings and tidy up the information.
• Promote as the GÉANT Community Programme. 
• Working to promote with AsiaConnect and EAPConnect based on the value of meetings.  

ACTION: Nicole to set up meeting with Rosanna to plan website updates.

• Education group, what NRENs are doing and should SIG-TNE be a subset of that. 
• Broadening participation.
• TF-GDPR. 
• SCOPE annual report.
• Communication: rebranding and pushing forward as the Community Programme. 
• KPI updates.
• SIG-NOC training outcome. 

• TF-GDPR will be sent to the GCC list very soon. 
• Nicole to continue talking to SIG Greenhouse about next steps. 
• Possible future proposal on education group.

• Exchange best practice about what is working well or not.
• Have meetings more often.
• Need to update
• Have more meetings with TF and SIG chairs.
