The Network Science and Engineering Council (NetSE), GENI Project Office (GPO) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) have all agreed to the roles in this document. This is a living document that will be updated from time to time. Please send comments or suggestions to geni-input.

NSF is a partner to both organizations and has oversight roles and responsibilities.
