Join us in Atlanta for our first Interim Members Meeting
of 2025!
The Interim Members Meeting will focus on cross-project work, planning, and coordination. Topic oriented sessions will combine committees in sessions designed to allow members to contribute to the projects related to their business.
Activities for the Week
Tuesday, 11 February we will host combined committee sessions to discuss details on cross-committee topics (projects that affect work in other committees), certification planning, and rules and procedures updates.
Wednesday, 12 February and Thursday, 13 February Two tracks each day will facilitate detailed discussions between two committees on continuity of work between them in different areas including NaaS, cybersecurity, L1-L3 connectivity, and LSO automation.
