This project supports a two half-day workshop on October 6-7 in Washington, DC, in which the GENI Project Office (GPO) can lead multiple sessions of focused planning for the creation of the Future Cyberinfrastructure Consortium (FCIC). The initial purpose of the FCIC is to provide for the operation, administration, research vision, and governance of the GENI project after the current cooperative agreement between NSF and Raytheon/BBN for the GPO expires in 2017. The intellectual merit of this project is in its goal to coordinate and house a workshop that is the culmination of a GPO-led, ten month long, community-wide inquiry into the future administration and governance of GENI. The workshop will bring together the community of scholars who have committed to participate in continuing the evolution of GENI past the era of the BBN GPO.The broader impact of this project is in its activities laying the groundwork not just for the continuation of the GENI project, but also for the continued evolution of the ecosystem of consortium, project/administrative office, and physical infrastructure - including network, storage, and computational assets - to a persistent and sustainable national cyberinfrastructure for the support of experimental research in distributed systems, as reflected in the workshop's title: Future Cyberinfrastructure Consortium. In addition to its research mission, the Consortium intends to expand the already wide use of GENI as a teaching tool in secondary schools, colleges, and universities, where it makes the art, science, and technology of distributed systems more accessible to all students, including under-represented ethnic groups, women, and the disabled.

该项目将于10月6日至7日在华盛顿特区举行为期两天的研讨会，届时，GENI项目办公室（GPO）将主持多场会议，重点讨论如何创建未来网络基础设施联盟（FCIC）。FCIC的最初目的是在NSF和雷声公司/BBN公司目前的GPO合作协议于2017年到期后，为GENI项目提供运营、管理、研究愿景和治理。这个项目的智力价值在于它的目标是协调和举办一个研讨会，该研讨会是gpo领导的、为期10个月的、针对GENI未来管理和治理的全社区调查的高潮。研讨会将汇集致力于参与GENI在BBN GPO时代之后继续发展的学者社区。该项目更广泛的影响在于，其活动不仅为GENI项目的延续奠定了基础，而且为财团、项目/行政办公室和物理基础设施（包括网络、存储和计算资产）的生态系统的持续演变奠定了基础，从而形成了一个持久和可持续的国家网络基础设施，以支持分布式系统的实验研究，正如研讨会的标题所反映的那样：未来网络基础设施联盟。除了其研究任务之外，该联盟还打算扩大GENI作为中学、学院和大学的教学工具的广泛使用，使分布式系统的艺术、科学和技术更容易为所有学生所接受，包括代表性不足的种族群体、妇女和残疾人。
