["Lucy E. Lynch" <>]

The Spring 2001 Internet2 Member Meeting will be held March 7-9, 2001 at
the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel, in Washington, D.C.The program committee
and Internet2 staff are working on both content and logistics to ensure a
successful experience for the Internet2 member community.The goal is to
have a working meeting, where members can discuss the future of high
performance networking and formulate activities for the months ahead.

The Spring Member Meeting has a focus on policy and strategic planning, to
complement the more technical and applications focus of the Fall
meeting. Breakout sessions are organized into four tracks:

Advanced Applications
