Internet2 Working Groups
Working Groups (WGs) are an integral part of the Internet2 community. Internet2 development activities take place in working groups, and Internet2 staff provides support. Strong, functional WGs provide intellectual capital and shared will to develop solutions.Internet2 maintains a list of WGs, with links to each WG’s web site. Each WG web page includes the group charter, contact information (chairs and mailing list), goals, and milestones (events, reports, products). There is information on how to join the group, the next scheduled group contact (call or meeting), project summaries, meeting minutes, documents created, and links to other related information. Typical WG goals may include:
- Establishing deliverables and meeting milestones
- Distributing workload among members
- Developing documents that chronicle the WG’s progress
- Publishing or linking to appropriate documents on the Internet2 web site
- Ensuring that implementation deliverables are documented
Some WGs are open to all members of the Internet2 community. A few are open only to University members or by invitation of the chair where membership needs to be limited because of the nature of the task.
