Dear Colleagues,

The Call for Proposals for the  Internet2 Spring Member Meeting,
scheduled for May 2-5 in Arlington, VA  has been extended to January
28th. 

 The Spring Member Meeting traditionally focuses on issues in
advanced networking policy and highlights Internet2's partnerships among
academia, industry, government and the international community. 
This year the Program Committee is seeking proposals that share a
strategic view of advanced network priorities, highlight emerging
application technologies and focus on collaborations with and among
federal agencies, between the corporate community and higher education,
and with international organizations. The topic areas of focus include:
Advanced Application Technologies, Collaborations, Middleware, Network
Planning and Engineering, Security for Advanced Networks and Teaching and
Learning.

Additional information on the Spring 2005 Call for Proposals as well as
the proposal submission form can be found

Please share this information widely with your campus and discipline
colleagues, and consider submitting a proposal for the Internet2 Spring
2005 Member Meeting.

Don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions about the Call or the
