NorthWestNet originated as a six state network for supercomputer users. In three years it has increased from 10 connected sites to over 50 sites with varying levels of connectivity. In the third year of the orginal award, the directors of the Northwest Academic Computing Consortium undertook a strategic planning process to evaluate NorthWestNet and set a course for the next 5 years. The plan is to extend NorthWestNet to a much wider user community to include all levels of higher education, primary and secondary school districts, researchers in the business and non-profit world, and the education comunity in general. Continued funding will enable NorthWestNet to expand membership; move toward becoming a value-added service-oriented network; add new users within the current membership; and hire professional executive management. NorthWestNet will hire a professional executive director to assist in implementing the strategic plan which includes the generation of five times the dues revenue of the immediate past fiscal year.***//

NorthWestNet 最初是一个面向超级计算机用户的六州网络。 三年内，它已从 10 个连接站点增加到 50 多个具有不同连接级别的站点。 在最初获奖的第三年，西北学术计算联盟的董事们进行了战略规划过程来评估 NorthWestNet 并制定了未来 5 年的路线。 该计划旨在将 NorthWestNet 扩展到更广泛的用户社区，包括各级高等教育、中小学学区、商业和非营利领域的研究人员以及整个教育界。 持续的资助将使 NorthWestNet 能够扩大会员数量；向增值服务型网络迈进；在当前会员资格内添加新用户；并聘请专业的行政管理人员。 NorthWestNet将聘请一名专业执行董事协助实施战略计划，其中包括产生上一财年五倍的会费收入。***//
