  20. NOAH • NoAH is a three-year project to gather and analyse information about the nature of Internet cyberattacks. • It will also develop an infrastructure to detect and provide early warning of such attacks, so that appropriate countermeasures may be taken to combat them TERENA GA, Poznan - June 09-10 2005

  21. SEEFIRE • establish a benchmark of existing and potentially available optical fibre for (NRENs) in the region in South East Europe • analysis of the technical options available for the deployment of dark fibre and the management of optical transmission by NRENs in the region; • report on economic aspects and regulations; • disseminate information TERENA GA, Poznan - June 09-10 2005

TERENA GA, Poznan - June 09-10 2005

  24. TAC - EUGridPMA • EUGridPMA does a Great Job in building cross trust (flat!) in the Grid community • More and more NRENs joining the club • More and more NRENs doing CA both for Grid and non-Grid • If EUGridPMA enhance the inclusion of non Grid CA PMA it will help in building the trust also for NRENs • It seems a good idea: • Further convergence Grids-NRENs • NRENs get a resul back from Grids TERENA GA, Poznan - June 09-10 2005

  25. TAC - Building Trust European Style • "European idiosyncrasies" require European Style in finally making trust (including AAI) start working • Bridges, translators, transparent gateways • No more "an idea", but a fast growing puzzle - we start to see the image • Grids are "in", not "out". • It is "the area" to put the big effort in middleware NOW! TERENA GA, Poznan - June 09-10 2005

  26. Further Steering Investigations • No more "Call for new Ideas" • The TAC is doing its job • We will discuss the issues also off-line (ML) • TNC is a source of ideas and information • It worked very well last year, we do it again! • We are trying to grep ideas from presentations, discussions and coffee break discussions TERENA GA, Poznan - June 09-10 2005
