GENI Future Planning

Introduction

Changes are coming to GENI in the 2-1/2 year period from mid-2015 through 2017.

  • GENI's technical emphasis is shifting from capability development, rapid deployment, and expansion to
    • ongoing service,
    • community growth, and
    • federation.
  • GENI's management and governance approach is changing from a GENI Project Office (GPO) managed structure to one that is community-driven.

There are two relevant time periods to consider.

  1. GENI Future Planning: summer and fall 2015 - during this several month period, the research community will develop a transition plan for GENI's future activities, operation, and governance.
  2. GENI Transition Period: from fall 2015 through fall 2017 - during this two year period, the GPO and current GENI performers will continue to operate GENI under ongoing NSF funding, executing the transition plan, and handing off operational and management responsibility by 2017.
