Topology Working Group Charter revision in process – Membership is open to Internet2 members and MoU partners with the consent of the chair Paul Love

Interconnections Points of interconnection Domestic International Technology of interconnection ATM (STAR TAP, existing NGIXes, NYC) GigE (P/NW GP) POS (NYC) Optical

Resource Accessibility The WG is adding the goal to identify specific resources needed by members of Internet2. These resources may be either domestic or international. Examples are Specialized laboratories Historic data Observatories Etc

Conclusion The Topology WG is redefining itself New members will be welcome if they have an interest Open to staff of Internet2 members, MoU partners, and US NGI agencies
