GNA-G Leadership Team Call for Nominations
by Alexander van den Hil 12 Oct '21

12 Oct '21

Dear GNA-G Community member, The GNA-G Nominations Committee (NomCom) is accepting nominations for the GNA-G Leadership Team (LT) through 23:00 GMT 31 October 2021. The LT has two vacancies. Introduction The current Leadership Team consists of four co-chairs: Erik-Jan Bos (NORDUnet), Buseung Cho (KISTI), Harvey Newman (Caltech), and David Wilde (AARnet) with two vacancies. The vacancies are for a 24-month (2-year) term and 48-month (4-year) term respectively. Anyone working in the R&E networking community is eligible to serve in the LT. The NomCom will be looking for candidates with technical competence, organizational skills, or relevant experience. The NomCom will emphasize diversity in the composition of the LT, in particular age, gender, and continent. Experience in the field of R&E networking and/or running Global eXchange Points (GXPs) is welcome. What does it mean to be an LT member? The LT looks after the long-term evolution of the networking layer of the Global R&E Network (GREN) and provides oversight to the GNA-G Working Groups. The LT also manages the GNA-G website and consults with the Executive Liaison from time to time. For more information see https://www.gna-g.net/about-us/. On a regular basis, the LT meets by VC, to discuss progress, issues, and community meetings. Due to the global nature of the GREN, the work in GNA-G means a VC out of office hours, due to time zones. Also, the full GNA-G Community meets every now and then to discuss developments and next steps at global events as much as possible. Hence this involves occasional intercontinental travel. There is no reimbursement for serving on the LT, as this is deemed a community service supported by your home organization. How to get nominated? Any member of the GNA-G Community may nominate any member of the GNA-G Community for the open positions; self-nomination is permitted. A nomination is only complete when supported by at least one other member from the community, from a different organization, participating in the GNA-G, than the nominee. In addition, the nominee must accept the nomination. A nomination can have two forms: 1. You can nominate someone + get a second from a member of the community + have the nominee accept the nomination; or 2. Nominate yourself + get a second from a member of the community. You must indicate why you want to join the GNA-G LT and whether you prefer a 24-month or 48-month term. Nominations should be sent to: nominations(a)lists.gna-g.net<mailto:nominations@lists.gna-g.net>. Accepted nominations will be made public to the GNA-G community. Nomination Timeline 12 October 2021 - Call for Nominations opens 31 October 2021 - Nominations close 9 November 2021 - Announcement of candidates by the NomCom, community feedback opens 5 December 2021 - Community Feedback closes 15 December 2021 - NomCom announces new LT members during GNA-G VC. NomCom members Celeste Anderson (Pacific Wave) – USA Lars Fischer (NORDUnet) – European Nordics Alexander van den Hil (SURF) – The Netherlands Bruno Hoeft (KIT) – Germany Michael Stanton (RNP) – Brazil Shukri Wiener (TENET) – South Africa Should you have any questions or need further information, please feel free to reach out to (one of) the NomCom members. Kind regards, Alexander van den Hil

Join the GNA-G NomCom! Help advance the global R&E network!
by David Wilde 15 Jul '21

15 Jul '21

Hi all, As Erik-Jan presented at the recent GNA-G Community VCs, we’re calling for volunteers to join the Nomination Committee. The role of the NomCom is to represent the broader GNA-G community in selecting members of the Leadership Team (LT). If you’d like to volunteer (or just ask questions), please just email the GNA-G Leadership Team: leadershipteam(a)lists.gna-g.net<mailto:leadershipteam@lists.gna-g.net> (Currently consisting of Erik-Jan Bos, Harvey Newman, Buseung Cho and myself.) We can promise no fame or riches; only recognition by your peers and a warm inner glow from knowing that you’re helping the community :-) Two fine upstanding members of the community have already put their hands up, but it would be great to have several more. I have attached Erik-Jan’s slide deck which describes the process. We don’t believe that being a member of the NomCom will be a particularly onerous or time-consuming task. Here are some of the key items from the slidepack: * Volunteers from the Community form Nominating Committee * No formal maximum, but for practical reasons: Max = 9. * No more than one person from an organization or its subsidiaries * Important considerations when nominating: * Qualifications, e.g.., technical competence, organizational skills, relevant experience * HOWEVER enthusiasm and willingness to participate are the main criteria – so if you’d like to join, just reach out to us and discuss * We would particularly encourage diversity in the NomCom – see the GNA-G Diversity Statement * The NomCom will be active in Q4 of every odd calendar year, so October 2021 for the first time: * From now until 31 October: Nominations from the Community welcomed * On 15 November, proposed NomCom members will be announced * Through to 30 November, solicit comments on proposed NomCom members, then accepted members announced * In December, NomCom will run the process to select and announce new LT candidates Looking forward to hearing from you, David --- David Wilde -- CTO | AARNet T. +61 (0)3 9211 8447 | M. +61 (0)410 166 011 | E. david.wilde(a)aarnet.edu.au

New job at Eurofiber
by Gerben van Malenstein 08 Apr '21

08 Apr '21

Hi, After more than 13 years at SURF(net) I have chosen to continue my career at Eurofiber as Program Manager of Mergers & Acquisitions and Post-Merger Integration as of June 1st. Since 2007 I worked with many of you, within GLIF, GÉANT, AutoGOLE/SENSE, LHC, GNA-G, other research work and commercially, ... . I am very proud of what we as R&E community have achieved together until now and I am convinced that many more achievements will follow. I will be missing our creative and technical discussions and, above all, personal contact at international meetings. Thank you for our collaboration – wishing you all the best and maybe see you in the future! Best regards, Gerben
