Global NRENs and the UN

“Center for Harmonizing the Actions of Nations”

from…UN Charter

The UN Does Not Make or Sell Anything…

Communications and Delivery of Humanitarian Services are our key roles…

25

Global NRENs and the UN?

• Sharing the UN’s Data Repository– Official Document System (6 Official Languages)– Verbatim recordings, including interpretation of UN

meetings– UN K-20 Distance Education– Humanitarian Relief– Human Rights– Vulnerable Groups (homeless, aging, indigenous, etc)– Economic & Financial Data– Historical Archives (text, audio, video)

26


• Collaboration– Resolving International Issues using high speed Video

Conferencing– Major meetings with simultaneous interpretation

using high speed Video Conferencing– Facilitate UN-sponsored research collaboration with

existing R & E I2 Institutions & their principal investigators

– Broaden Training (extend reach) with high speed Video Conferencing

27


• Extend Global NRENs Reach into Africa– Utilize Member State Missions to UNHQ– Facilitate Coordination with Peacekeeping Operations– Leverage existing Satellite Network– Work Collectively with NREN and Member States

on Infrastructure Development Projects– Coordinate UN System Organizations with African

presence

28

Key Issues

• Difficulty in Connecting – Global NRENs Not Set Up to Address Global Orgs– Each NREN has to be approached separately– No standard way to “do business” with an NREN– Responsiveness of NRENs varies

• NRENs Operate Informally– It is who you know– Need to move from a user to customer focus

• UN Focus– Do not want to research network-related issues– Share, Collaborate, & Extend NREN reach

29

Progress To Date

• Applied as Affiliate Member - March 2006• Approved by I2 - April 2006• Educated UN Departments

– DESA• Statistical database sharing

– DGACM • GA & SC Video Conferencing• 100 international VC’s per day; many are public

– DPA• Remote expert participation & collaboration

30

Next Steps

• Connect UN Headquarters in NYC– NYSERNet– Dark Fibre loop

• Market to UN System at Interagency Meetings…– ITAG (Interagency Telecommunications Agency

Meeting)– IT Manager Meeting

• Earmark Funding & Phased Rollout Plan
