1. April 15, 1999 1. ICFA_SCIC meeting Matthias Kasemann, FNAL1 ICFA Standing Committee on Interregional Connectivity 1. Meeting at Fermilab April 15 - 16. 1999

2. April 15, 1999 1. ICFA_SCIC meeting Matthias Kasemann, FNAL 2 ICFA meeting, Vancouver, 1998 zICFA received the final report of the Networking Task Force (ICFA-NTF). zDecision: create a Standing Committee on Interregional Connectivity (ICFA-SCIC). zCommittee members represent major HEP user communities and laboratories. zFocus should be on intercontinental connectivity (see charge).

3. April 15, 1999 1. ICFA_SCIC meeting Matthias Kasemann, FNAL 3 Charge to ICFA-SCIC: 1) zMake recommendations to ICFA concerning the connectivity between America, Aisia and Europe. yAs part of the process of developing these recommendations, the committee should xmonitor traffic, xkeep track of technology developments, xperiodically review forecasts of future bandwidth needs, and xprovide early warning of potential problems.

4. April 15, 1999 1. ICFA_SCIC meeting Matthias Kasemann, FNAL 4 Charge to ICFA-SCIC: 2), 3) zCreate subcommittees when necessary to meet the charge. zThe chair of the committee should report to ICFA once a year, at its joint meeting with laboratory directors.

5. April 15, 1999 1. ICFA_SCIC meeting Matthias Kasemann, FNAL 5 ICFA-SCIC membership: zThe chair is appointed directly by ICFA.  zEach of the major user laboratories, CERN, DESY, FERMILAB, KEK and SLCA, should appoint one member each.  zECFA, DPF jointly with IPP, and ACFA, should appoint two members each.  zICFA will appoint one member from the Russian federation and one member from South America.(  )

6. April 15, 1999 1. ICFA_SCIC meeting Matthias Kasemann, FNAL 6 ICFA-SCIC membership: zThe representatives from the laboratories are: Manuel Delfino, (CERN), Michael Ernst (DESY), Kasemann (Fermi) (chair), Yukio Karita (KEK), Richard Mount (SLAC). zThe North American user representatives are: Harvey Newman (USA), Dean Karlen (Canada). zFor Russia: Alexei Morozow (ITEP) z ECFA has nominated: Federico Ruggieri (INFN Frascati), Denis Linglin (IN2P3, Lyon). z ACFA has nominated: Prof. Rongsheng Xu : Computer Center, IHEP China, Prof. HwanBae Park : Korea University. z For South America: Sergio F. Novaes (IFT/S.Paulo)

7. April 15, 1999 1. ICFA_SCIC meeting Matthias Kasemann, FNAL 7 1. ICFA-SCIC meeting zMain topics: yreview charge to SCIC, yreview work of ICFA-NTF ( a lot of it overlaps with SCIC charge), ydefine priorities and projects, yorganize work (and subgroups). zApril 15. - 16. at FNAL.

8. April 15, 1999 1. ICFA_SCIC meeting Matthias Kasemann, FNAL 8 ICFA-SCIC topics: zKeep track of technology trends: yreview networking activities and initiatives, yreport on pilot projects, ymay need active participation in projects. z…with special emphasis on Interregional Connectivity.

9. April 15, 1999 1. ICFA_SCIC meeting Matthias Kasemann, FNAL 9 ICFA-SCIC topics:(ctd.) zMonitor traffic: yreview NTF work and ongoing activities in HEP labs, ydiscuss whether there are HEP specific additional monitoring needs, yreview improved monitoring solutions, ycontinue to participate in activities. z…with special emphasis on Interregional Connectivity.

10. April 15, 1999 1. ICFA_SCIC meeting Matthias Kasemann, FNAL 10 zPeriodically review forecasts of future bandwidth needs. yReview work of NTF (Requirements W.G.). yReexamine and document requirements for current and upcoming HEP experiments. z…with special emphasis on Interregional Connectivity. ICFA-SCIC topics:(ctd.)

11. April 15, 1999 1. ICFA_SCIC meeting Matthias Kasemann, FNAL 11 ICFA-SCIC topics and summary zProvide early warning of potential problems. zOrganize information and documentation. zReport to ICFA yearly. z…with special emphasis on Interregional Connectivity.
