Middleware Announcements

[Renee Frost <>]

Dear Colleagues:

As previously announced, the first in a series of Internet2 Virtual
Briefings will take place this Wednesday, December 12.
"Authorization: Pioneering Efforts" will run from 11:00am until
12:30pm EST (-4 UTC). This message includes connection and testing
information for remote viewing sites, plus a few other details for the
session.

- Connection information is now up on the Authorization session page at
http://www.internet2.edu/activities/html/20011212-middleware.html
We have established a test connection window beginning at 4:00pm EST (-4 UTC) on Tuesday, December 11. The MCU will be up continuously from that time until the session ends on Wednesday.

- The session will be available via H.323, Real, and IPTV. Documentation for these streams will be available from the Briefings website at http://www.internet2.edu/activities/html/briefings.html . We do not plan to have an audio-only bridge for this session in part due to the graphical nature of the presentations.

- All viewers will be asked to register before joining the session, and the registration link will be available on the Authorization session page. We will also have a link to videoconferencing etiquette, which we strongly encourage especially first-time participants to review before joining the session. You will also see a link to a session feedback form, and we also encourage everyone to take a few minutes to complete it at the end of the session.

- Following the end of the speakers' presentations, there will be 10-15 minutes of Q&A. Those coming from H.323 sites will be able to ask questions live, and Keith Hazelton will moderate these. Questions can also be emailed to . Ken Klingenstein will be receiving these and relaying them to the speakers during the Q&A period.

I hope you can join us for this inaugural briefing. It promises to be both lively and informative on the current state of authorization work within the Internet2 membership.
Best,
Laurie
