Licensing for resources - institution in one country have a license, but does that mean that it can be used by Interoperability issues - IpV6 and other technological mismatches International relations - national NRENs are sovereign and regional networks provide connectivity - what engagement is there locally that could support the local environment; being a responsible local partner | People working in NRENs do not know the establishments in other countries - need to get the right information from NRENs; the sending NRENs should provide the critical accurate information (something that SIG-TNE could facilitate) Small establishments - administrative overhead would be huge, collaboration can save time and money Political barriers in different countries - i.e. government restrictions in China Identity management - authorisation issues; to be authorised the user in some cases need to be physically in the country Language/culture differences
| Knowing who is out there - which institutions we need to serve? Who has the demand for a remote campus? Institutes from abroad might not be allowed to settle in a country (i.e. Hungary) Connection policies differ - some countries do not allow connecting institutions that are not finances by the government Networks built for science purposes and not educational institutions (African example) Language, culture, working, etc. | Libraries: software or books licenses Connectivity local issues Institutions might not use the right peering policy and use commercial connections Communications - time zone differences, language barriers - additional time is needed to get anything sorted Sending hardware equipment across the board Defining relationship - whether there is any hierarchy in the relationship |
