Grid Forum is a grass-roots community organization that began as a BOF session at SC98 in November1998. Grid Forum has held five highly successful workshops in the US since that time and has formed tenfocused working groups, each developing best practices and standards within a particular set of technicalareas. Over 500 individuals participate in Grid Forum electronic newsgroups and typical workshopattendance is 150-190 people. Grid Forum has served as the primary gathering point and collaborationvehicle for major initiatives including the NSF Partnerships for Advanced Computational Infrastructure(PACI) program, NASA's Information Power Grid (IPG) program, the DoD modernization program, DOEgrid-based programs, and others.Two of the primary advantages to the existence of such a collaboration vehicle are that it allows theseprograms to leverage one another and it assures that the various agency-specific grid systems are able tointeroperate. During the past year, Grid Forum has joined with similar efforts in Europe and Asia-Pacific,increasing the opportunity to leverage to major grid projects outside of the US. Beyond the advantages ofleverage and ensuring interoperability, a single global standards activity ensures that grid technologies donot fragment at continental boundaries.Grid Forum will hold its sixth major workshop, "Global Grid Forum 1" in Amsterdam in March 2001.This meeting will be held in conjunction with the kick-off meeting for the European Data Grid projectthat is managed by CERN. This project supports travel by approximately 30 US participants, including students and researchers from Minority Serving Institutions, to that meeting. The participants will berecruited from the ranks of existing Grid Forum leaders.

网格论坛是一个草根社区组织，于1998年11月在SC98上作为BOF会议开始。自那时以来，网格论坛已经在美国举办了五次非常成功的研讨会，并组建了十个专注于此的工作组，每个工作组都在一组特定的技术领域内开发最佳实践和标准。超过500人参加了网格论坛电子新闻组，典型的工作坊出席人数为150-190人。网格论坛一直是主要倡议的主要聚集点和协作工具，包括NSF高级计算基础设施伙伴关系(PACI)计划、NASA的信息电网(IPG)计划、国防部现代化计划、基于DOEggred的计划和其他计划。存在这样的协作工具的两个主要优势是，它允许这些计划相互利用，并确保各种特定于机构的网格系统能够互操作。在过去的一年里，电网论坛在欧洲和亚太地区加入了类似的努力，增加了利用美国以外的重大电网项目的机会。除了杠杆作用和确保互操作性的优势外，单一的全球标准活动可以确保网格技术不会在大陆边界支离破碎。网格论坛将于2001年3月在阿姆斯特丹举办其第六个主要研讨会--“全球网格论坛1”。该会议将与由CERN管理的欧洲数据网格项目的启动会议一起举行。该项目支持大约30名美国与会者参加那次会议，其中包括来自少数族裔服务机构的学生和研究人员。与会者将从现有的电网论坛领导人中选出。
