GNA-G Leadership Team Call for Nominations
by Alexander van den Hil 26 Jan '23

26 Jan '23

The GNA-G Nominations Committee (NomCom) is accepting nominations for the GNA-G Leadership Team (LT) through 23:00 GMT 31 January 2023. The LT has one vacancy. Introduction The current Leadership Team consists of five co-chairs: Buseung Cho (KISTI), Harvey Newman (Caltech), David Wilde (AARnet), Ivana Golub (PSNC), and Marco Teixeira (RedClara) with one vacancy. As we are filling a vacancy due to an LT member leaving before end of their term, the new LT member will be elected for a 48-month (4-year) term+ the remainder of 2023 in order to maintain the LT election cycle. Anyone working in the R&E networking community is eligible to serve in the LT. The NomCom will be looking for a candidate 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 position; 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. 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 16 January 2023 - Call for Nominations opens 31 January 2023 - Nominations close 13 February 2023 - Announcement of candidates by the NomCom, community feedback opens 28 February 2023 - Community Feedback closes 15 March 2023 - 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 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

Please take ten minutes to fill in this simple survey: https://forms.gle/B67Cu9SL8TCaZGsE7 (We’re keen to receive everyone’s input, whether you’re able to attend the meeting or not!)

31 May '22

An update from the GNA-G Leadership Team
by David Wilde 27 May '22

27 May '22

Hi all, Our friend, colleague and collaborator Erik-Jan Bos has recently made the decision to resign from NORDUnet, to seek new adventures. His departure is set for 1 June. Erik-Jan has been a driving force in the world of R&E networking for over thirty years. He has played a key role in guiding and driving the success of GNA-G and its predecessors, GLIF and GNA. His departure will leave a huge gap in our sector in general, and in GNA-G in particular. It’s also of course an exciting time for Erik-Jan, and we wish him the greatest success in whatever his next adventure brings. With this, he’ll be stepping down from the GNA-G Leadership Team. Erik-Jan is also currently the Chair of the LT. My LT colleagues Harvey, Ivana, Buseung and Marco have done me the honour of asking me to take on this role, which I have accepted. Erik-Jan is a hard act to follow however! (We’re hoping that he’ll return to the sector elsewhere in a new role, which would allow him to rejoin us. On the chance that this happens, we will hold off before mobilising the NomCom to solicit you all for a new member of the LT.) Please join the LT and I in a heartfelt vote of thanks to Erik-Jan, and wish him all the best in whatever the future brings him. Regards, David --- David Wilde -- CTO | AARNet T. +61 (0)3 9211 8447 | M. +61 (0)410 166 011 | E. david.wilde(a)aarnet.edu.au<mailto:david.wilde@aarnet.edu.au>
