Internet2 is a consortium of over 200 US universities working in partnership with leading corporations, government agencies, national laboratories, and other institutions of higher learning. Operating the nation's most advanced network for research and education, Internet2 is a not-for-profit entity that collaborates with its members and with international partners to develop new technologies that are critical to the progress of the Internet.
I have served as a trustee since 2004, and from 2007 to 2011 I was Chairman of the Board.
In 2006, I was asked to lead the team charged with reforming Internet2's governance structure; our recommendations are set forth in this report. During my term as chairman, Internet2 was awarded a major federal stimulus grant to create U.S.-UCAN, a new national project dedicated to using advanced broadband technology to connect community anchor institutions, including public libraries, schools, community colleges, research parks, public safety and health care institutions.
