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 28
