JANET(UK) Stakeholder Consultative Panel
Context
The 2008 Gross Report on HEFCE related bodies, of which JANET(UK) is one, proposed that they should be reinforced in their autonomy. It also proposed a streamlining of the JISC Committees. One outcome of this was that the JISC Network Committee (JCN) which had primarily focused on network strategy and policy was dissolved with some of its responsibilities being integrated into a much broader ranging committee – the JISC Infrastructure and Resources Committee (JIR). In order to maintain and indeed increase responsiveness to the needs of network users, JANET(UK) has taken on more responsibility for stakeholder input to the technology strategy relating to the network and associated services. To this end we have established a new Stakeholder Consultative Panel.
