Jon,
Sounds more like the initial items of a programme to complement FIND?
I'd also emphasise virtualization (as Andrew's Networkshop talk and one
or two of the funded FIND projects) and location independent access - an
aspect of Jon's item 3. (I like the thought of combining virtualization
and Bob Kahn's 'Transient Network Architecture'.)
Even more, I'd add items at the application enabling level - how to
enable Jon's 'good guy hackers' (while fixing the bad guys, of course),
since the IP internet is driven by the layers above.
So, why not fly Dave Clark over for Coseners and have a session on this?
And to help emphasise 'higher layers' (Web2.1 or is that DIY grid
middleware, etc?), Andrew Herbert could be invited to make an appearance
to celebrate inaugural funding from Microsoft? No?
(And Level 0 should enable access to or parallel facilities to GENI?)
Best wishes,
Chris
