Working Groups

Each WG has a web site describing its charter, goals, milestones, events, current activities and other information. Internet2 community members who are interested in participating in a WG should contact the group's chair. Have an idea for a new WG? Contact Eric Boyd.

Special Interest Groups [back to top]

Special interest groups (SIGs) are formed around common interest areas and members share ideas, insights and even "war stories". They are informal, are open to all members are led by a chairperson and do not typically produce deliverables. Many SIGs meet semi-annually at Internet2 Member Meetings.
