  1. APAN’s Commitment to Building Relationships for Network-enabled Collaboration-------------- George McLaughlin

  2. APAN’s Traditional Relationships • Liaison Members – peer network focused organisations (Internet2, CANARIE, TERENA, DANTE, RedCLARA) • Associate Members –TransPac, Pacific Wave • Affiliate Members –examples are PRAGMA, APBioNet, APNIC, APNG • MoU partners – various, some also covered above • No formal arrangement – eg University of Hawaii Maybe need more consistency in our approach

  3. Relationships at the Network coordination level Example 1: demo of astronomical transient events at APAN32 Delhi, involved high capacity transfers from • CalTech via CENIC to Pacific Wave • Pacific Wave via TransPac to APAN-JP • APAN-JP via NII/NICT to Singapore • Singapore via TEIN3 to Mumbai • Mumbai via NKN to IUCAA, Pune Example 2: yesterday’s cyberperformance demo

  4. New Relationships at the Network Research and Network Reach levels Example 3: - Cybersecurity – proposed MoU between APAN and the Research and Education Networking Information and Analysis Centre (REN-ISAC) – Kitamura-san and Prof Kasahara Example 4: - drafting of an MoU between APAN and GLORIAD/Taj underway (new links available to APAN members) – Francis Lee

  5. New Relationships with Global Donor Bodies Example 5: - The World Bank’s Global Development Learning Network is now a Liaison Member of APAN - http://www.gdlnap.org/`plan for a joint meeting on video production values at APAN34 – Many APAN members support GDLN centres in their country Example 6: - drafting of an MoU between APAN and UNESCO almost complete, with a focus on delivering UNESCO’s on-line courses across APAN. APAN, together with a number of APAN Members and AI3/School on the Internet (SOI) are members of UNESCO’s CONNECT-Asia program http://www.connect-asia.org/index.php/about and http://www.connect-asia.org/

  6. Building on the Expertise of APAN Working Groups and of our Collaborating Partners Example 7: - School on the Internet, Asia (SOI) would like to develop a medical education initiative – the APAN Medical Working Group has vast experience in developing network-enabled medical activities At this meeting Yoo from AI3/SoI will join the Medical Working Group sessions and start the discussion with Prof Shimizu on the ways to move this forward http://www.connect-asia.org/index.php/news/3-event/88-the-33rd-apan-meeting

  7. Strengthening relationships with Applications-focussed partners and Cloud development Example 8: - Discussion have commenced on the prospect of holding a co-joined APAN/PRAGMA meeting PRAGMA (Pacific Rim Applications and Grid Middleware Assembly) is going through a transitiion of migrating from a Grid-based infrastructure to a Cloud environment. There is a natural synergy between APAN and PRAGMA in addressing the network-related issues associated with the Cloud environment.

  8. In Conclusion • APAN has an ongoing commitment to outreach and close collaboration with the global REN organisations and communities • APAN has a long tradition of encouraging science, teaching, medical and culture based collaborations and to societal improvement • New opportunities are cropping up continuously, new relationships being forged, with new and disruptive paradigms ready to be exploited • Now that the distraction of the incorporation of APAN is largely behind us, there will be an increased focus, through our membership, on strategies for exploiting these relationships and opportunities.
