In addition training numbers since 2010 are included with details on men and women trained by year through 2020.Item Open Access Global Internet Development Activities(University of Oregon, 2010-05-02) The Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), University of Oregon; Meacham, Jim; Merson, JoannaThe Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), which is based at the University of Oregon, was established in 1992 to provide technical assistance to organizations setting up computer networks for connecting scientists in new areas around the world. The NSRC helps develop Internet infrastructure and network operations communities by working directly with the indigenous network engineers and operators throughout Africa, the Asia-Pacific region, Latin America- Caribbean, and the Middle East, in partnership with network operator groups, universities, industry, and government agencies. NSRC is funded primarily by the U.S. National Science Foundation and Google, with additional contributions from dozens of public and private organizations.Item Open Access Expanding International Email Connectivity-- Another Look(1996-06-30) Klensin, John C.; Bush, Randy; The Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), University of OregonUnlike the situation of thirty years ago, when almost all important scientific work occurred in Western countries, the scientific community is becoming increasingly international. Important work and areas of study occur all over the world. Collaborations and ability to access sources of data and other resources are increasingly important to scientific progress. In many fields, we see more and more inter-institutional collaborations on research and papers that draw on the strengths of each of these institutions. Exchanges of ideas and collaboration and review of proposals should not be limited to one country, or even to developed areas. Especially in such areas as the health and social sciences and in all of the various fields that study "global and environmental future" issues, participation of scientists in developing areas has become crucial. This is true whether the scientists themselves are indigenous to, or visiting in, those areas; indeed, as the community becomes more international, the distinction between the two is gradually becoming less clear.Item Open Access The Value Proposition for Identity Federations(2017-05) Phillips, Chris; Lynch, Lucy; Harris, Nicole; Marks, Heath; Brennan, Joni; Flanagan, Heather; Harding, Ann; Wierenga, Klaas; The Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), University of OregonEducation and research institutions around the world are facing significant resource challenges that impact their ability to offer a modern collaborative environment. Campus infrastructure, from the network (both wired and wireless) up through identity management, needs to support inter-institutional collaboration on the part of their students, faculty. In order to understand the layers of costs and benefits involved in local, regional, and global collaboration, campus CIOs and IT staff must understand the value proposition for a stronger network, richer services, and a solid identity management infrastructure. In particular, establishing an identity federation to help support the global engagement needs to have clear value at the local level as well as the regional or global level in order to win the necessary funding in the light of all the competing needs of the institution. This paper attempts to bring clarity to the questions that surround the heart of the value proposition for identity federation. Why should identity management and federation be prioritized? What arguments can campus CIOs use to sway the local and regional funding agencies that already have so many demands? What needs to be done to establish an identity federation, and have it interoperate with other identity federations around the world?Item Open Access Country-Code Top-Level Domain Best Current Practices Info(2006-11-01) Wenzel, Zita; Bush, Randy; Hunter, Steven; The Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), University of OregonThis document describes the issues and best current practices for the technical organization, operation, and management of country-code top-level domains (ccTLDs).Item Open Access TV White Spaces: A Pragmatic Approach( e Abdus Salam International Centre for eoretical Physics, 2013-12) Zennaro, Marco; Pietrosemoli, Ermanno; The Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), University of OregonThe editors and publisher have taken due care in preparation of this book, but make no expressed or implied warranty of any kind and assume no responsibility for errors or omissions.

As we have discovered the developing world of wireless networking is all around us, the authors of this book have included projects in North America, Europe, and in Asia, South America, India and Africa. So we have come to the conclusion that most places have the potential to find affordable indoor and outdoor wireless networks useful. We hope you enjoy reading this book and use it as the starting point of a wireless project in your community.

This is how they were actually found, piled on the floor, victims of time, humidity, laziness and pests, but above all, of secrecy and deception. From the first moment, the commitment on the part of those of us who worked in the Archivo Histórico de la Policía Nacional was that we would not be limited to rescuing those “old papers” from dust but, above all, to liberate them from oblivion and secrecy in order to uncover their content. Guatemalan society has a right to recover the truth, to provide dignity to their victims, and to want to know about the past, in order to begin healing. People who don’t know their own history cannot understand the present, and don’t know who they are. The original publication of the report Del silencio a la memoria was unanimously praised as a step forward in both making the work and mission of the AHPN widely known and offering a synthesis of its potential to understand how systematic state repression worked. The story told in this report is an exemplary case of commitment with the past and the future of a society still recovering from the wounds of violence and social injustice.Item Open Access The History of the Internet in Thailand (Thai)(University of Oregon Libraries, 2013-05-22) Palasri, Sirin; Huter, Steven; Wenzel, Zita; The Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), University of OregonThailand was an early participant in bringing the Internet to Asia, and it has a fascinating, but little-known, networking history. The grassroots efforts by a few dedicated and visionary university professors have resulted in a fully functional national network, despite the limited infrastructure and numerous technical obstacles of the early days. In fact, networking in Thailand began when virtually nothing existed in the country to establish a viable computer network. Telephone density was low, technical knowledge was scarce, and computers were expensive. However, some Thai engineers managed to create the academic network with a small budget and some technical assistance from Australia. Beginning with a UUCP connection and X.25 in 1987, the Thai academic network gradually transitioned to full TCP/IP in 1992. Boosted by the strong economic growth of the early ’90s, collaboration occurred with the private sector and was augmented by international financial support. The use of the Internet in Thailand is now highly valued, especially by the younger generation. Currently, the Internet is not only a significant tool for information sharing among academics and students, but also an alternative media and a new business opportunity for Thais. The state of academic networking in Thailand has grown significantly, reaching almost every university and research institution in the country. Many Thai schools and universities are using the Internet and its applications in their curricula. The government is planning to invest more in Information Technology (IT) and human resources by improving the telecommunications infrastructure and providing more education. As of this writing, Thailand has 16 Internet Service Providers (ISPs) operating nationwide with a combined leased line capacity above 30Mbps.Item Open Access The History of the Internet in Thailand(University of Oregon Libraries, 2013-05) Palasri, Sirin; Huter, Steven; Wenzel, Zita; The Network Startup Resource Center (NSRC), University of OregonThailand was an early participant in bringing the Internet to Asia, and it has a fascinating, but little-known, networking history.
