Group A Membership

This initiative involves various members from leading institutions analyzing the current infrastructure of NLR, Internet2, and RON. The teams will identify operational requirements, gaps in existing services, and propose strategies for convergence and effective aggregation of activities. The goal is to develop one or more schemes that simplify organizational complexity while meeting the diverse needs of the research and education networking community. Recommendations will be compiled and discussed for implementation in the coming fall.
