This page provides Network members with information about the focus areas and activities for Phase 2 of the IICR research. This phase focuses on sharing visions and experiences.
Following input from the Network and Advisory Group, the Project Team has confirmed Phase 2 will largely be focused around three areas of activity (workstreams):
Internet resilience in action: what is being done by who in Aotearoa New Zealand (Mapping exercise)
Workstream 1: Internet resilience in action Mapping exercise
“Fit for What Purpose”: Internet Infrastructure resilience in a Hothouse/Disorderly World? (Scenario exercise sessions)
Envisioning data best practice: how hazard and infrastructure data can help (Data focused discussion round tables).
Network members can participate in as many or as few of these areas as they have interest and capacity for. We encourage Network members to participate in at least one of the workstreams.
Further information about each workstream will be added as this phase progresses.
Rewilding the Internet for resilience: This one-off in person and online event was co-hosted by the Critical Signals team on 12 September. More information about the event is here and a video of the session is now viewable here- thanks to Maria Farrell, the Critical Signals team and all who attended.
Weekly workstream sessions: Work across the three workstreams will take place during weekly Tuesday lunchtime working sessions between 15 September and 21 October. There will also be some opportunities for Network members to input and participate in these activities asynchronously.
All-Network meeting, Tuesday 11 November 12-130pm online: there will be a session to report back and reflect on the activities, discuss the outputs from the work, and look to the next Phase (which will be about Options and Choices for Action).
Community perspectives: As different lenses and perspectives are needed across this research work, there will be ongoing work throughout all phases of the research, led by the project team, in collaboration with Network members, to ensure te ao Māori and community engagement and input.
The timetable for work sessions and other activities for each area of work is outlined below. Invites have been sent to network members for these events – please accept the ones you plan to participate in.
