NEW Special Interest Areas

• Lower Layer Technologies • Security • Middleware • Mobility• Voice and Video Collaboration• Grid

Campus and End-to-End issue coordination are challenges that have an impact across all SIAs

TTP Terms of Reference and reality• The mapping between TTC members and SIAs does

not seem to work well: for instance there are SIAs with no corresponding TTC member and vice-versa there are TTC members whose portfolio is not a SIA;

• There are SIAs with no corresponding task force, or mailing list or webpage on the TERENA site; on the other hand at a certain time TERENA staff might be active in some technical activity that does not correspond to any SIA;

• Limiting the number of SIAs to six sounds very artificial and has indeed led in the past to clustering together technical items that do not necessarily fit.

TERENA GA – Limassol, 21 October 2004 5Claudio Allocchio [email protected] VP Technical Programme

Work to Update TTP ToR• The current ToR were adopted in June 1999, and are

the evolved result of some historical changes, since the time when TERENA Working Groups were abolished;

• There should be some constraints to gurantee that TTP focus is kept on activities where there is real interest (and resources are not unlimited);

• We should make the ToR more flexible to fit a quickly evolving reality, instead of taking time to compress reality into obsolete frameworks.
