Iain Emsley
Friday, March 2, 2012 - 16:17

If you do not agree, please summarise your reasons for disagreeing.  Do you have an alternative proposal which would also lead to more effective use of JANET in pursuit of business and community engagement?  If so, please summarise this.

Use of Commercial ISP Services

Iain Emsley

A university or college might choose to retain a commercial ISP for operational reasons, such as ensuring resilience of Internet connectivity via another provider besides Janet, or to lay off liabilities when providing Internet access to students or visitors. Otherwise a separate ISP connection should not be necessary under this proposal, provided that the use of Janet is part of business and community engagement activities.  As suggested in the previous section, where this is patently is not the case the safer option will be to use a commercial ISP connection and services.

Use of Janet Services other than the IP Service

Iain Emsley
Friday, March 2, 2012 - 16:09
The Sponsored Connection licence scheme only allows the provision of the Janet IP service via the sponsored connection, but under this proposal there is the potential to offer other Janet services where appropriate. Formally, the Janet network security service (the CSIRT) is not available to the sponsored organisation to provide advice and other services, but informally it often is involved with the hosting organisation in resolving security incidents.

Proposal for Consultation

Iain Emsley
Friday, March 2, 2012 - 16:02
The proposal being made in this consultation is simple:     •    that a university or college’s business and community engagement activities are no different in principle to its teaching and research activities; and therefore    •    that it should be able to use its Janet connection(s) in pursuit of business and community engagement in exactly the same way as it uses Janet in its teaching and research missions.
