Imperatives for the Advanced Networking Community

Continue to provide leadershipMake real progress in Internet technology

• Beyond connectivity: performance, security, and reliability

• Meet requirements beyond the reach of evolutionary change

Work together• No organization, national or regional can succeed in isolation

• As President Faulkner said – we need to crystalize
