SECTION: GCC, TFs and SIGs

LEAD: Nicole Harris

DEADLINE: Final report April 28th 2017.  All TF and SIG input by 7th April 2017 please.

INFORMATION SEEKING:

o   GCC – vision paper on current state of the community and main challenges to be addressed.

o   TFs and SIGs – top issues that need to be addressed (i.e. the situation now) and view on what users will need in 5 years (i.e. where we need to be/what we need to be ready for).

OVERVIEW: A PPT with an overview of the process is available, which shows what is needed from the TFs and SIGs.  Background from the GPPC perspective is also available, but TF and SIG feedback should not be limited to "stuff we want from the project" but really focus on future trends and requirements.

DOCUMENT STORAGE: Nathalie has created a folder on the Intranet to store all the docs once they are created.

QUESTIONS TO ASK:

The main question we need feedback on is:

  • What new service / development requirements do you see for NRENs in the next 3 - 5 years?

Supporting questions to help you guide discussions:

  • What are the priorities and specific ideas for innovation in these areas?  What services and capabilities not currently offered by GÉANT will be needed i n 3-5 years?
  • What is the potential impact of new technologies such as orchestration, automation and controlling applications?
  • Do we do enough to bridge the digital divide? If not, how could we make a more effective contribution?
  • Any regrets from opportunities not taken from funding sources, or priorities given to funding sources? 
  • How well do we do at NREN commitments early in the process of service device development?  The use of services, facilities and even the network varies a lot from NREN to NREN:  Should new services or new service features be developed only after a certain minimal number of NRENs express their commitment to offer/use them for their business?
  • Do you think we should make an effort to serve communities outside of the R&E community - following the ECs evolving priorities and flagship projects?
  • Do you see any significant future changes in the NREN business models affecting what they want to get from GÉANT Ass/Ltd. E.g Importance of SLAs and KPIs, use of non-commercial software from GÉANT Ass/Ltd, other projects or research groups.

Developer community waning within the NREN world.  Lots of reliance on OSS but no strategy for long-term support for the software, very few NRENS have development strategy in place alongside procurement strategy, difficulties with maintaining developers.
