Hi all,
The next pair of GNA-G Community VCs will take place a month from now:
VC #1: Monday, 15 March 2021, 3pm – 5pm UTC
Most suitable for participants from North America, Latin America, Africa, and Europe. Registration link:
https://nordunet.zoom.us/meeting/register/u5EvcOGgrzkrE9AFUFY1AZcicSJ3j-AGK…
VC #2: Tuesday, 16 March 2021, 8am – 10am UTC
Most suitable for participants from Asia, Australia, New Zealand, Africa, and Europe. Registration link:
https://nordunet.zoom.us/meeting/register/u5YudO2vpz4qG91_rCDlMBY3laOfQMSi0…
(See https://www.gna-g.net/attend-a-meeting/gna-g-community-vcs-2021q1/)
The proposed agenda for the calls is:
1. Opening and welcome
2. Updates from the community
3. Innovation corner
4. Working group updates and discussion
5. Announcement of next VCs and close
For these Community VCs, we are delighted to announce an open Call for Proposals.
Updates from the community:
If you have an update which you’d like to present under item 2: “updates from the community”, we’d love to hear from you. Past topics have included progress reports on national and international network projects; a telemetry discussion; proposal for new working groups around automation and security.
We have 3-4 ten minutes slots available.
Innovation corner:
This is a new agenda item we’re trying for the first time at these Community VCs. This is a slot for someone to present a technological development or innovation which you think would be of interest to the community. Some examples:
> the latest developments in DWDM
> an innovative network or systems architecture development
> future internet architecture developments
> a new network application such as frequency and timing or quantum
> a project or product or service which you’ve been working on which you believe others might be interested in hearing about or collaborating on
> we’re also open to vendor presentations – although no marketing!
Depending on submissions, we have 1-2 slots of 15-20 minutes available.
To make a submission, please email your idea to leadershipteam(a)lists.gna-g.net before 12.00pm (midday) UTC on Monday 1 March 2021.
Include the following information:
1. Your name and contact details
2. Your organisation
3. The agenda item your submission is for (community updates or innovation corner)
4. A brief description of your proposed topic (at least 2-3 lines; no more than a page)
No idea is too small or too silly! These VCs are “by the community, for the community” – if you have an idea which you think is interesting, there will certainly be others who’d like to hear about it. We’d love to receive submissions from organisations or regions who we don’t usually hear from, and especially from first-time presenters. The leadership group would be happy to assist you with preparing your presentation, or help you in any way.
Regards,
David Wilde (on behalf of the GNA-G Leadership Team)

Dear GNA-G Community,
We are glad to inform the entire community that our Diversity Statement has been published on the GNA-G homepage [https://www.gna-g.net] as a version 1.0*:
“We truly believe in diversity and inclusion, as the first G in GNA-G stands for Global and we are all about collaboration. Not only for participation within Working Groups of the GNA-G, also for the (co-)chairing a Working Group and for being active in the Leadership Team.
The commitment of the GNA-G is to strive for inclusion across race, gender, age, religion, identity, country of birth, country of citizenship, and experience.
Through diversity in the GNA-G participation, we connect Research & Education communities all over the world. Together, we’re further enhancing the Global Research & Education Network.
We encourage equal participation on all levels of the GNA-G.”
Best regards,
Gerben - on behalf of the GNA-G Leadership Team

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.
