The Performance Working Group is guided by these principles:
...
- Its work is done in the context of the Internet2 advisory structure. This working group reports progress on a monthly basis to the Network Technical Advisory Committee. Coordination with the perfSONAR developers group, and the Information and Infrastructure working groups is essential.
...
- Outreach to, participation from and collaboration with application user communities such as the USLHCnet and organizations of all sizes, capabilities and interests from campuses to RONs is important.
...
- Attention is given to commercial product capabilities and deployments as well as open-/community-source.
...
- Work represents the interests of the whole R&E community, not just one segment (e.g. research institutions).
...
- Substantial projects, such as new software development, are done as independent projects, not as part of this WG.
...
- Consideration is given to business and policy issues as well as technical development.
The Working Group will operate under the terms of the Internet2 Intellectual Property Framework.
