A year ago January 2020, k claffy, CAIDA Director and UCSD Adjunct Professor of Computer Science and Engineering responded with collaborator David Clark, Senior Scientist at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory to the Request for Information (RFI) put out by the National Science and Technology Council’s (NSTC) Joint Committee on the Research Environment (JCORE). The response establishes the critical importance of the internet to the infrastructure of society and the need for governments, and specifically the U.S. government, to send a strong signal to the private sector through high-level policy making that the only path to understanding the characteristics of the internet comes via data sharing and that responsible sharing of data for documented scientific research will not generate corporate liability.

Another focus and benefit to the policy for which we call comes with the development and delivery of academic training of professionals to work with large data sets focused on communications and networking.

You can see the complete response and more related material posted in CAIDA resource catalog.
