Subject: [CNI-ANNOUNCE] Internet2 Campus Expectations Task Force Report

The report of the Internet2 Campus Expectations Task Force is now 
available. See the announcement from Laurie Burns at I2 below. This 
is a very valuable report that I think can serve as a basis for 
important conversations with senior campus leadership and the broad 
campus community about roles, priorities and commitments for advanced 
information technology/cyberinfrastructure  in advancing the missions 
of the academy.

Note there's a webcast from the Internet2 meeting on Tuesday, April 
25 discussing the report.

----------------------------------------

Dear Colleagues,

The Campus Expectations Task Force (CETF) was convened in February 
2005 under the auspices of the Advisory Councils of Internet2, led by 
the Applications Strategy Council and the Network Planning and Policy 
Advisory Council.  The task force was asked to articulate a current 
set of expectations for what it means to be an Internet2 member 
campus, in light of the Internet2 community's goal to promote and 
enable advanced applications to further research and education. 
Under the leadership of Bill Decker, Senior Associate Vice President 
for Research, University of Iowa, CETF members created a set of 
recommendations that illustrate how Internet2 member campuses can 
most effectively pursue the collaborative work that will enable 
higher ed to remain on the leading edge in today's international 
research and education environments.  By agreeing to strive for 
compliance in three areas: innovation, shared infrastructure, and 
community--member campuses demonstrate their mutual commitment to 
community and realize their goals.  To assist campuses in making a 
self-determination to measure their success in meeting these 
commitments, CETF proposes a system for self-assessment and 
promulgating best practices based on the identified areas of 
commitment.

Bill Decker will make a presentation on the complete recommendations 
of the CETF to the Internet2 membership during the Spring 2006 
Internet2 Member Meeting.  Mr. Decker's presentation will also be 
netcast live on Tuesday, April 25 from 4:30-5:30pm EDT. See:
