Internet2 Working Groups, SIGs, and Advisory Groups
Development activities of Internet2 are performed in Working Groups (WGs), Special Interest Groups (SIGs), or Advisory Groups. Members who do the work of the groups come from Internet2 member institutions and partners. Support for Groups is provided by Internet2 and Internet2 staff.

Working Groups
Each WG has a web site describing their charter, goals, milestones, events, current activity, and other information. Members of the Internet2 community who are interested in participating in a WG should contact the Chair. If you have an idea for a new WG, contact Eric Boyd.

SIGs -- top
SIGs (Special Interest Groups) also exist. They center around common interests and may be formed to share "war stories". They are informal and open to all members; SIGs may meet semi-annually at Internet2 Member Meetings. SIGs are led by a chairperson and do not typically produce deliverables.
