Global NRENs and the UN
“Center for Harmonizing the Actions of Nations”
from…UN Charter
The UN Does Not Make or Sell Anything…
Communications and Delivery of Humanitarian
Services are our key roles…
24
Global NRENs and the UN?
• Sharing the UN’s Data Repository
– Official Document System (6 Official Languages)
– Verbatim recordings, including interpretation of UN
meetings
– UN K-20 Distance Education
– Humanitarian Relief
– Human Rights
– Vulnerable Groups (homeless, aging, indigenous, etc)
– Economic & Financial Data
– Historical Archives (text, audio, video)
25
Global NRENs and the UN
• Collaboration
– Resolving International Issues using high speed Video
Conferencing
– Major meetings with simultaneous interpretation
using high speed Video Conferencing
– Facilitate UN-sponsored research collaboration with
existing R & E I2 Institutions & their principal
investigators
– Broaden Training (extend reach) with high speed
Video Conferencing
26
Global NRENs and the UN
• Extend Global NRENs Reach into Africa
–
–
–
–
Utilize Member State Missions to UNHQ
Facilitate Coordination with Peacekeeping Operations
Leverage existing Satellite Network
Work Collectively with NREN and Member States on
Infrastructure Development Projects
– Coordinate UN System Organizations with African
presence
27
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
Progress To Date
• Applied as Affiliate Member - March 2006
• Approved by I2 - April 2006
• Educated UN Departments
– DESA
• Statistical database sharing
– DGACM
• GA & SC Video Conferencing
• 100 international VC’s per day; many are public
– DPA
• Remote expert participation & collaboration
29
Next Steps
• Connect UN Headquarters in NYC
– NYSERNet
– Dark Fibre loop
• Market to UN System at Interagency
Meetings…
– ITAG (Interagency Telecommunications Agency
Meeting)
– IT Manager Meeting
• Earmark Funding & Phased Rollout Plan
