All,

The following information was provided by Grant Miller of the US National Coordination Office (NCO) for Networking and Information Technology Research and Development (NITRD). He said that GLIF community feedback was welcomed, and asked that I forward.

All,

In January 2007, Dr. John Marburger, Science Adviser to the US President and Director of the US Office of Science and Technology Policy (OSTP), charged the OSTP's National Science and Technology Council (NSTC) Committee on Technology to establish the Interagency Task Force on Advanced Networking (ITFAN).  

The Charge and Terms of Reference directed ITFAN to develop an interagency Federal Plan for Advanced Networking Research and Development to provide input to the FY 2009 Federal budget planning cycle. A Draft Interim Report was delivered May 15.

To finalize this report, we are seeking inputs from the wide spectrum of the networking research and development communities including university, Federal laboratory, and commercial researchers and developers.  The final report will provide input to the Federal agencies for the FY 2010 and beyond Federal budget planning cycles.  The report including the Charge, Terms of Reference, and findings can be found at the Web site:

www.nitrd.gov/advancednetworkingplan

 

or at:

www.nitrd.gov under “What’s New’, “Solicitation for comment …”

 

In addition to providing the Draft Interim Report, this Web site provides guidance and formats for providing comments.

 

Please provide, by September 30, 2007, your comments, suggestions, and additions on the information and networking research priorities to finalize this report.  Your comments and perspective are important to provide a broad understanding and perspective on future networking needs and priorities.

 

Thank you,
