In Conclusion
 We Can Do Some Much More With Virtual Networks
 Perhaps Need To Form A Study/Advisory Group
 Formulate Implementation/Use Guidelines
 Formulate Interoperability Guidelines
Shared Virtual Networks Across Institutions
 Formulate Plans to Leverage Existing Resources
 Avoid Duplication
 Consider Security – Exploits Against VMs
 Publish Secure Implementation Guidelines
 Provide Subject Matter Experts and Technical Advise

 Vehicle for Implementation
 Perhaps ICT/MPICT
