About this work stream

The goal of this Phase 2 work stream is to build a cohesive picture of relevant work underway to support Internet infrastructure resilience in Aotearoa New Zealand. Network members who participate in this workstream will contribute their thoughts about what is needed from a mapping output and inputs into the list of initiatives underway.

Activities in this workstream

1. Mapping Resilience Launch Workshop: 16 September, 12pm, online. Further information about this workshop is below. Slides from the session can be viewed here
2. Asynchronous input into the mapping: The team is now working on further input process planning for this workstream, building on the input from the working session. For now, those who attended the workstream, you are welcome to use the google docs from the breakout groups to add more input, if you wish, and all Network members are invited to add to the Network Only Google Doc here
3. Work to develop an output: the project team will lead work to pull together the information provided into a format that is useful to Network members and others interested in this area. The project team also welcomes the assistance of any Network members who are interested and have capacity in carrying out this task.

16 September Launch workshop: information for attendees

Key agenda items in this workshop will be:

• Overview of the goals of this work stream and examples of types of stakeholder mapping
• Discussion what the map output should provide (e.g. types of information, whether some supporting narrative or analysis would be useful, and potential organisation into themes/categories)
• Brainstorm of initiatives underway to start off the mapping process
• Discussion of next steps.

Suggested Reading for workstream

In the backgrounder, we have collated a list of some of the work underway already, organised by types of actor (e.g. government, academia etc) and type of initative (e.g. systemic, business-as-usual). This will be a starting point for content for the mapping.
