Global TNE policies

2. 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.

3. 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)
