10. International Partner Program • Build effective partnerships in other countries • With organizations of similar goals/objectives and similar constituencies • Mechanism: Memoranda of Understanding • Provide/promote interconnectivity between communities • Collaborate on technology development and deployment • Facilitate collaboration between members on applications • Engagement to: • Establish leading, high-performance network infrastructures in support of science, teaching and learning • Ensure global coordination and end-to-end performance in support of our communities

12. International importance • Our members are increasingly dependent on access globally to resources: collaborators, data, scientific instruments. • Access to scientific instruments with specific geo-location needs: • optical telescopes: e.g., Cerro Pachon, Chile; operated by US and other countries • Radio telescopes: establishing distributed “antennae” network (e.g., US, Asia, Europe, South America) for very-long baseline interferometry (beyond experiments pushing the network, obtaining finer-grain pictures of the cosmos) • Access to/collecting geo-specific data and getting it back for analysis, visualization, sharing, prevention • Malaria data in sub-Saharan Africa • Heard of SARS? (WHO, NIH, universities) • Environmental data from the Amazon or Antartica

13. Singular instruments: not possible for each country to “afford” for their own country: • 30-story scanning electron microscope in Japan • Large-Hedron collider at CERN in Geneva: great example of an international-funded facility where collaborators around the world (1000s) are working to conduct experiments together using these facilities • Access to people for teaching/learning • Zuckerman for a violin class • Distance education and exchanges • Multi-disciplinary real problems • telemedicine, second opinion network opportunities, border issues, environmental research, etc. • El Nino • Disaster preparedness programs • Bio-technology / genomics • apps.internet2.edu for more information and details

14. Changes in global “networking” • The US has played a key role in having very rich connectivity to the ‘world’ • many initiatives outside the US are engaging and establishing leadership roles in connecting to the world • North America and the rest of the continent – some closing of the gap… some expanding…not unlike what is happening around the world: the getting to hard-to-reach places of the world • More than ever, we need to solidify our international ties and work and learn from our partners around the world

24. Internet2 – CUDI partnership • Internet2 – CUDI Partnership • via Memorandum of Understanding • In place since May 1999 • Abilene – CUDI Peering • 400 Mbps of connectivity (via California and Texas) • Strong and increasing Internet2 – CUDI collaborations

25. Conclusions • Internet2 focused on: • Working together to advance the development and use of networking infrastructure, technologies and applications • AND • Putting in place the community-wide, interoperable infrastructure (at network, middleware, advanced services levels) to support development and use for research, teaching, learning • Leading-edge, high-performance network infrastructure is being put in place to support science, research, teaching and learning in countries around the world • As a global community, we need to work even more closely together to ensure support for global applications on an end to end basisyes.
