1 IEEAF Update August 26, 2003 David Lassner Treasurer, IEEAF ( Chief Information Officer University of Hawaii

2 New Public-Private Partnerships Needed Global telecomm build-out of technical infrastructure provides new possibilities for economic development Current market conditions have resulted in great capacities which are currently going unused -- cannot be sold. As a matter of social responsibility, this unused capacity could be made available for stimulating future applications and markets -- by donation for use by research and education institutions. Public-private partnerships involving government, universities and private sector are needed We need more synergy and leverage from our currently fragmented investments.

3 New Public-Private Partnership: IEEAF The IEEAF represents one such partnership whose goal is to obtain donations of international bandwidth to enable a global collaboration in research and education Current donations have already linked US and Europe, and as of this meeting, are linking US and Asia-Pacific (HDTV Demo)

4 IEEAF Vision: The Global Quilt A Network of Networks fabric, “ stitched together ” through collaboration and community effort, until it covers the globe The IEEAF has no boundaries of “ home ” territory ….. "Non Nobis Solo" (Not by ourselves alone)

5 IEEAF - What is it? U.S. 501.c.3 Not-for-profit corporation Formed from original MOU between GEO and CENIC (Corporation for Educational Networking in California) Vision: Accelerate the global growth of Internet2 to achieve "universal educational access” to: Enable and stimulate the rapid expansion of research and educational collaboration in many forms between teaching and learning institutions around the world. Cultivate and promote practical solutions to delivering scalable, universally available and equitable access to suitable bandwidth and necessary network resources in support of these collaborations.

6 IEEAF Organization Honest Broker Group (IEEAF) Accepting assets Matching Corp assets w/Educational needs Advocate for assets on behalf of Education Granting of assets as Free Use licenses

7 IEEAF - How does it work? Partner with various organizations on strategies, specific initiatives Leverage global deregulation and new entrants into telco business Leverage private sector business relationships Geographic Network Affiliates, Inc. (GEO) Build donations into business deals (contracts) as no-cost IRUs

8 GEO builds carrier hotel buildings and supports the IEEA Foundation goals which include helping to solve the digital divide. GEO - The Catalyst Government “The Need” Submarine Fiber “The Wet” Terrestrial Fiber “The Dry” Universities +

9 IEEAF - What does it do? Gets donated communications assets Makes them available to existing institutions and networking organizations to put to work Vehicle: Asset Steward Agreement
