Enterprise EUAG
- Enterprise EUAG.pptx
- Current EUAG is chartered by LFN Governing Board
- LFN GB has asked that we begin to explore serving the "Enterprise Networking" vertical
- EUAG working well, do not want to disrupt
- Scott Blandford There is considerable overlap in topics is this an artificial division
- Potential conflict of interest by inviting "vendor companies" that have enterprise networks to the single forum
- Proposal is to create 2 separate advisory groups
- Lei Huang Too many meetings AND considerable overlap in topics may make is difficult for current members
- Randy Levensalor There is a need to align the interests between the groups as there are the same number of underlying projects - if there are separate groups, perhaps periodic sync meetings would bring together all the vertical groups
- Brandon Wick Previous EUAG tried to recruit other verticals and failed to get critical mass
- Jim Baker Perhaps focus groups for enterprise for a couple months, then fold them into EUAG
- Scott Blandford Perhaps have both "user groups" and "end user advisory group" - providing ONE set of priorities to the LFN projects would be desirable
- Kenny Paul Limit participation to those that OPERATE the enterprise networks via a charter change
