Affilate Membership Application Requirements

Affiiliate Membership Information
Affiliate membership in Internet2 is open to not-for-profit corporations organized and operated for research or education purposes that do not qualify for Regular or Corporate membership, but wish to participate in Internet2. All member applicants should be committed to the goals of the Internet2.

Affiliate Member applicants should be committed to promoting the development and deployment of advanced Internet applications and network services in the conduct of research and education.

Affiliate members are responsible for $12,000 per year in member dues. Affiliate members who gain Collaboration Site status (see below) enabling them to participate in such projects as Abilene are responsible for $30,000 per year in member dues (note that there are Abilene and connection fees in addition to Internet2 membership dues). Those non-profit organizations wishing to apply for Collaboration Site Status must meet the same requirements as Regular Member universities.
