Ohio Valley Internet2 Consortium

Ohio Valley Internet2 Consortium Charter

The Ohio Valley Internet2 Consortium (OVI2C) is charged with providing direction to OARnet regarding Internet2 issues, including, but not limited to, sponsorship of other entities for participation in Internet2, OARnet's Internet2 fees for members and sponsored entities, and other issues related to participation in Internet2.

The OSTEER representative from each of the Ohio Valley Internet2 Consortium member institutions (those institutions with both active UCAID and Abilene memberships) will appoint one voting member, although each institution may have more than one member on the Consortium. There is no term of office for the voting member.

Given the policy-making activities that take place in this consortium it is important all   Regular Member institutions share in the leadership of the OVI2C.   The Vice-Chair position will rotate alphabetically through OVI2C Internet2 Regular Member Institutions.

After two years the Vice Chair will automatically succeed the Chair and a new Vice Chair will rote in to the position as indicated in the chart below.
