  5. European Video Service: Problem Statement Do we need supported video conferencing services??? • Report to help / support users published by TERENA • Many users still do not feel like it is a “call and go” service • Expertise is available, but is it advertised and used? • New protocols / paradigms on the horizon, but now ? • We need some support for H.323 now; • We need to be proactive in making the expertise known • We need to rise support to professional level • … while other protocols (SIP) or services (group collaboration tools) become mature • A TASK for the follow up of TF-VVC TERENA GA - Catania May 18-19 2006

  6. Services to Schools Follow the users’ needs and requests • Additional support for videoconferencing • Include H.320/H.323 gateways (yes… ISDN) • Help in providing interactive content - bridge between education content providers and schools • VISIT - proactive (even with equipment) expansion os the collaborating schools club TERENA GA - Catania May 18-19 2006

  7. Whitelisting Friends • Create something which will “treat better” some e-mail senders (domains, organizations, individuals,…) than others, I.e. List the “good ones” • Personal whitelists are in use by many people • Establish some Policy (common?) to enable Whitelist entrance • Establish mechanisms for whilelist exchanges • Need for a Central Authority • TACAR approach seems a model to follow. • TF-CSIRT will follow up, and try to setup a pilot basic whitelisting environment TERENA GA - Catania May 18-19 2006
