Internet2 Working Group Terms of Reference

The group's objectives include:

  • Raising national awareness of the benefits of advanced network applications, and New Zealand's need to become a full partner in these developments.
  • Marshalling, from a variety of interested parties including network companies, local authorities, local and central government, utilities, educational and research institutions, sufficiently adequate homogeneous resources to present an advanced capability to organisations requiring access to these applications. These bodies would then be able to connect to other institutions and like minded organisations both nationally and overseas via a sufficiently well provisioned connection where there is little or no concern about cost of connection, restriction of transmission medium, or ability to perform scientific or research or educational activities.

Note: Internet2 is the registered name for a United State universities´ project that aims to develop advanced Internet technologies and services. The term "Internet2" is used in this paper as a generic term to represent advanced Internet technologies and services.
