SIG - Transnational Education Global TNE policies As we speak the GNA group is working on a global architecture TNC2017 - Linz, Austria Alexander van den Hil Product Manager Network Services alexander.vandenhil@surfnet.nl

Need for policies How can we move to a position where we all treat TNE customers the same? Can we treat a foreign institution as a local education institution? How to work with country specific barriers? Reciprocal agreements? Can we come to a global oriented policy? Connection policies differ, some countries do not allow connecting institutions that are not financed by the government, overseas institutions are classed as ‘private’ e.g. Spain Political/tech barriers in different countries - i.e. government restrictions in China (e.g. IPv6 and firewall). In-country knowledge is key Political barriers in different countries - institutes from abroad might not be allowed to settle in a country (e.g. Hungary), not going to fix here, but at least we should take away barriers for collaboration.

Existing arrangements NREN level Jisc has a Strategic Alliance with CERNET Internet2 has an agreement with CERNET, KISTI and GARR (Work in progress) Jisc (which we are hoping to expand out for GÉANT members)
