How many institutions currently have Intranets? How is authentication handled? By IP addresses, by htaccess files, or something more sophisticated? Do many places provide differing levels of access to different groups (students and staff) or to individuals? How much of an administrative burden is this? Are institutions building solutions on standard web server software, or buying in off-the-shelf solutions? How many sites are making use of Extranets - i.e. restricted access to resources, but to people outside the organisation? Would a talk or discussion group on this topic be of interest to participants at the Institutional Web Management workshop?
