== End-user Opt-In Working Group "Writing Meeting" in NYC==


A working meeting of the [GeniOptIn End-User Opt-In WG] is being planned to meet on Tuesday, April 14, 10am - 4pm in NYC, at Columbia University (Computer Science Building, Room 453).  


The objective is to add content to the DRAFT document:  “GENI End-User Opt-In Overview”  (working title).

To date, five end-user opt-in use cases have been identified:

•	Use Case 1:  User opt-in to GENI experiment for service
•	Use Case 2:  Wholesale opt-in to GENI of traffic
•	Use Case 3:  A disruptive GENI experiment
•	Use Case 4:  Opt-in of user resources to a GENI experiment
•	Use Case 5:  Gathering data involving opt-in users in a GENI experiment

These use cases then drive requirements on capabilities that are being included into GENI, including:

•	Capability 1:  Gateway from GENI to another network, e.g., the Internet
•	Capability 2:  Contribution (or association) of a user’s node to an experiment on GENI
•	Capability 3:  Gathering logs and experiment data on GENI (some possibly user-identifiable) and managing their distribution

Finally, we expect various common policy themes to arise from an examination of the policies and best practices required for each use case, such as: 

•	Privacy policies for end-users
•	Disclosure policies



For each use case, we want to better understand and write down:  
	the players, their motivation and relationships; 
	major issues (incentives, risks to consider, etc.)
	and a first cut at policies and best practices when operating in a GENI environment.


We want to finish this meeting with a better understanding, and a few pages of text for each use case.  Then, we hope to have a baseline view of GENI opt-in that can be expanded in the coming months.
