• End-User Opt-In WG Meeting at the GEC-3: Meeting minutes, including all presentations (October 2008)
• GENI User Opt-IN Workshop (July 22, 2008)
  • A one-day workshop was held on July 22, 2008 in Cambridge, MA, that was structured to solicit ideas from experts interested in technology, and its impact on society. Conclusions include: the way to attract end-users is (mostly) through getting great applications into GENI slices. Thus, we need to think about how to ensure GENI is application-friendly.

Work-in-Progress

• The RegionalOptIn project is currently developing techniques that can be used for wholesale opt-in of large populations of innocent users. The Requirements for Wholesale Opt-In document describes a strong wholesale opt-in mechanism for GENI. It would permit GENI experimenters to request that ISPs redirect traffic from a huge population of innocent users through GENI infrastructure. Your comments are welcome. This document will be reviewed at the GEC4 WG meeting.
