IPNSIG Academy Keynote: Roberto Gaetano
EURALO, Individual Users Association
The Internet started as a small network connecting few research and development networks. The rules were simple and shared by everybody. Later, it evolved and started having commercial value. At that point, a governance model had to be established to ensure orderly development. Will the InterPlanetary Network follow a similar path? Are there any lessons that we can learn from the experience with the "traditional" Internet?

IPNSIG Academy Keynote: Dr. Preston F. Marshall
Engineering Director and Principal Wireless Architect for Google
This talk discussed the role of the underlying IPN protocols (Delay Tolerant Networking, or DTN) and how this protocol has attractive features to a much wider range of applications. Advocating for the broader adoption of DTN would have the effect of bringing additional implementations, adoption, interoperability, and innovation to DTN, and thus to IPN. Making IPN one of the "edges" in broader DTN networks of networks can bridge the gap between planetary and interplanetary networks.

IPNSIG Academy Workshop:
Architecture and Governance of IPN
IPNSIG will be hosting a workshop to discuss architecture and governance of the Interplanetary Network.
As we look around the globe, we are witnessing a significant thrust in space exploration. We are on the cusp of an exciting re-entry into human and robotic space exploration and commercialization, and the deployment of an Interplanetary Network is the key to enabling such efforts.
Today, there are several initiatives, including the Government, Space Agencies, and the private sector that expand communication capabilities off the planet, to the Moon, Mars, and beyond. Such capabilities will provide significant opportunities to explore, gain new knowledge, and expand more businesses in Space. They all bring benefits back to Earth.
As the venture of expanding the Interplanetary Network are remarkable steps for humanity, it is also the time to discuss how a "Common Interplanetary Network Infrastructure" could be realized, which entails the need for Governance - a management structure to support the operation of the infrastructure itself.
The Architecture and Governance Working Group (AWG) has tackled these important subjects by reflecting on the lessons learned from the Internet's evolution and from the remarkable insights provided by our past Academy speakers.

EuroDIG (Presentations by President Kaneko and Other IPNSIG Members)
Current expansion of space activities pushes the development of new communication technologies and standards, which allow for seamless communication in space.
The Delay Tolerant network architecture aims to merge and interconnect various underlying space and terrestrial communication technologies into the Inter-Planetary Internet. While this might give access to space infrastructure for new commercial and non-commercial stakeholders alike, it also challenges governance of terrestrial and space DTN infrastructure.
