The Quilt
Mission
The Quilt, a coalition of advanced regional network organizations, is a
dynamic forum where leaders from throughout the advanced research and
education network community build on the intellectual capital and best
practices of network service providers worldwide. Based on the
participants' combined experiences in operations and development of
leading edge technologies, the Quilt aims to influence the national
agenda on information technology infrastructure, with particular
emphasis on networking. Through this coalition, the Quilt promotes
delivery of networking services at lower cost, higher performance and
greater reliability and security. The Quilt derives support and funding
from a diverse base, including participants, federal agencies, and
partners. It also relies on significant volunteer contributions from
its participants.
Values
The Quilt plays a respected and trusted role within the networking and
broader information technology communities. It maintains this role by
engaging vendors, federal agencies, and its participants in diverse
projects and interest groups.
