Networking Group (NG)

The group's remit is to consider all aspects of networking and network security within the academic and research community and to give advice to UCISA and to the JISC and its relevant sub-committees on strategic matters affecting the community. (The term 'networking' includes telephony as well as data.)  

The group is steered by a committee that consists of members proposed by the heads of computer services in UCISA institutions and agreed by UCISA.

The committee meets three or four times a year and works under guidance from the UCISA executive, for which it prepares a business plan and to which it renders an annual report.

Each UCISA institution should appoint at least one networking correspondent and these are the members of the Group. This contact is normally the senior manager who responsible for network services at each Institution. Members will be sent (via the UCISA-NG@jiscmail.ac.uk) information about the activities of UCISA-NG and of its steering committee. 

From time-to-time UCISA-NG organises events on network issues and prepares occasional reports on network and security issues. 

The UCISA-NG group works closely with JANET (UK), which has representation on the committee.
