GTRN

More coordinated, cooperative, integrated management of global infrastructure

• Lessons already learned between Abilene and GEANT engineering, operations teams

Philosophy: rough consensus and operating links – use what’s on the ground now

Need Asia, South America other parts of world

Motivating some ‘continental’ consolidation?
