Lower Layer Technologies
Security
Middleware
Mobility
Voice and Video Collaboration
Grid
Campus and End-to-End issue coordination are
challenges that have an impact across all SIAs

TTP Terms of Reference and reality
•
The mapping between TTC members and SIAs does
not seem to work well: for instance there are SIAs with
no corresponding TTC member and vice-versa there
are TTC members whose portfolio is not a SIA;
•
There are SIAs with no corresponding task force, or
mailing list or webpage on the TERENA site; on the
other hand at a certain time TERENA staff might be
active in some technical activity that does not
correspond to any SIA;
•
Limiting the number of SIAs to six sounds very artificial
and has indeed led in the past to clustering together
technical items that do not necessarily fit.

Work to Update TTP ToR
•
The current ToR were adopted in June 1999, and are the
evolved result of some historical changes, since the time
when TERENA Working Groups were abolished;
•
There should be some constraints to gurantee that TTP focus
is kept on activities where there is real interest (and
resources are not unlimited);
•
We should make the ToR more flexible to fit a quickly
evolving reality, instead of taking time to compress reality into
obsolete frameworks.
