Regional Networks:  Different Aspects to Building Community

I had the pleasure of serving on a panel at the Internet2 Spring Member Meeting with representatives of Quilt participants:  OneNet; MOREnet; Utah Education Network (UEN); Merit Network; OARnet and NJEDge.  It was a dynamic discussion among the panel about building communities of practice, both within our constituency groups and across research & education networking communities and the different forms community building can take.
