Schedule

The following is the rough timetable for further development of GENI's research plan, reference design, and execution plan, in preparation for a Conceptual Design Review (CDR) in early 2007.

November 1st: 2nd draft of GDDs
  • complete draft of research plan by 11/21
December 1st: 3rd draft of GDDs
January 1st: Penultimate draft of GDDs (including research plan)
  • Activities in January:
    • integrate design/wbs/budget (extracted from GDDs) into PEP
    • review of research plan (organized by CCC)
February 1st: Penultimate draft of PEP and Research Plan
  • Activities in February:
    • GDDs revised to be consistent with PEP
    • planning group brings GPO up-to-speed
March 1st: Final version of PEP, Research Plan, supporting GDDs
  • documents frozen for review
April 1st: Conceptual Design Review (CDR)
May 1st: GENI presented to NSB

Assuming GENI passes the CDR and is inserted into the Readiness Queue, the post-CDR timeline for the the MREFC process looks like this.

Disclaimer: The proposed facility described in various pages of this web site represents a synthesis of NSF workshops and Town Hall meetings that have taken place over the past year. The project development plan requires that GENI be defined with a certain level of specificity, but everyone understands that the underlying technology changes rapidly, and that the requirements the community places on GENI continue to mature. Therefore, these pages should be viewed as a snapshot of GENI as of January 2006. Additional snapshots will be posted as they come into focus.
