Information on Internet2 activities in the international arena.

All,

The call for presenting a poster session at the Spring 2005 Internet2 
Member Meeting scheduled for May 2-5 in Arlington, Virginia--is now 
available for response.  The spring meeting traditionally focuses on issues 
in advanced networking policy and highlights Internet2's partnerships among 
academia, industry, government and the international community. Meeting 
sessions will, among other things, focus on collaborations with and among 
federal agencies, between the corporate community and higher education, and 
with international organizations. Participants at Internet2 member meetings 
come from a wide range of communities and disciplines.  Information about 
the meeting can be found at http://events.internet2.edu/2005/spring-mm/

Poster sessions are an intentionally low-tech forum for the exchange of 
information and ideas about collaborations, projects and works-in-progress. 
The posters convey stories through the use of graphs, diagrams, pictures, 
data, and narrative text displayed on ~4' x 3' corkboard. The posters are 
on display near the meeting registration area continuously throughout the 
3-day meeting; participants informally discuss their presentations with 
meeting attendees during the staffed hours for poster sessions.  In 
addition, for the first time ever, poster presenters are invited to display 
their posters in the ballroom during the Monday evening Welcome Reception.

All categories of Internet2 membership University, Corporate, Affiliate, 
Association members and International MOU partners are welcome to submit 
proposals for poster sessions. Each poster submission must contain:
Title
Institution or organization name
Brief abstract
Contact name and email address

Space is limited; posters will be considered on the basis of the following 
criteria:
· Degree of anticipated interaction and information sharing with meeting 
attendees; relevance of the discussion to advancing their work
· Impact of advanced networking and advanced applications, with an emphasis 
on things that are not possible or reasonable to do with the commodity Internet
· Demonstration of the value of Internet2 to its members and how advanced 
networking technologies further the mission of research, teaching and learning

Please send submissions to , the submission 
deadline is 11 March 2005. Notification will be sent the week of 28 March 
and logistical information will be provided at that time.

If you have questions please contact me.

Best Regards,

Ana Preston
