TF-AACE
finally build Euro-MACE? Forum to cover Middleware?
Meet the applications needs
launch workshop for GN2 JRA5

How to authorize users for PremiumIP (still by NOCs)
Need more active people, too much a forum.
Coordinate with AAI - TF-AACE
TF-CSIRT
Interaction with external bodies, not only R&D, laws
interaction with certificates?
TF-NETCAST
Implement content distribution
University/Research European channel? Project?

What is TERENA doing
in the GRID arena ?
• Major interest for the NRENs is Networking components
• Lower Layers = Optical / High Speed Networking
• Middleware = AAI
• Many NREN (users) Particpate in Global Grid Forum (GGF)
• High Performance Networking & Measurement
• Security & AAI
• Participating in proposed EGEE project; TERENA leads the
dissemination activity, NRENs and their users are the core of
the production activities

•
•
•
•
•
(part)-funded by the European Commission

IP Telephony Cookbook
•
•
•
•
•
•
Telecoms costs in some parts of Europe are high.
Number of initatives to use IP telephony, but these were not
linked.
Coordination and support would be beneficial.
‘Cookbook’ initiative started in April 2003 and will run until
February 2004.
Will investigate the various IP telephony projects in Europe.
Aims to produce guidelines on:
•
•
•
•
•
IP Telephony protocols and basic services set-up.
how to set-up advanced services.
how to connect an IP Telephony island to a wider dialing plan.
regulatory and legal aspects.
interoperability of different IP telephony equipment.
