Finally, the meeting voted unanimously to establish the working group motion, announced the formal establishment of the working group.In view of the lack of network construction standards in the current data center network field, the work team will focus on developing network construction standards for data center networks. In addition, the work team plans to release standards for the intelligent computing data center network field in the near future, leading the construction of next-generation data center networks. In the future, more technical discussions and research will be carried out on the application and innovation of Ethernet technology in intelligent computing and high performance and environment.Several important developments were achieved at this meeting, which laid a solid foundation for the future development of the Working Group.

On October 15, 2024, the Network Intelligence Working Group (WG02) held a kick-off meeting in the form of an online Tencent meeting. 24 members, including Ma Junfeng and Han Sai, attended the meeting. This kick-off meeting is a milestone and lays a solid foundation for the establishment of the network intelligence working group.Ma Junfeng, Chairman of the Working Group, delivered a speech: Ecosystem partners in all phases of production, university, and research work will be carried out in this working group. We all share the following objectives: Discuss the key technologies involved in the evolution to L4 high-level self-intelligence, including the construction of the industry ecosystem and the output of the Chinese standard solution to overseas countries. We hope that we can achieve the industry goals through joint efforts.Working Group Vice-Chair Hansai mentioned: Currently, we mainly focus on the research on the large-scale communication network model. We hope to work with members of the working group to develop L4 research on standards and applications in the future.Wu Bingqing (on behalf of Wang Chunsheng), Vice-Chair of the Working Group, mentioned: Jiangsu Future Network Innovation Research Institute has been building an experimental network covering the whole country, which has entered the acceptance phase. It hopes to provide a good experimental basis for the work team's follow-up work.Working Group Vice-Chair Liu Chun mentioned: With the joint efforts of CCSA TC610, ICT Institute, and many industry partners, Huawei has actively promoted the development of the self-intelligent network industry. As Vice-Chair of the Working Group, I will continue to actively support and cooperate with relevant industry activities, and warmly welcome the active participation and support of all online colleagues.The meeting reviewed the project initiation resolution on the Technical Requirements for Intelligent O&M Capability of Enterprise Campus Networks. In view of this project, Chairman Ma Junfeng put forward two important points:1. The standard project initiation proposal and standard draft need to be modified and improved as required, and the communication and coordination with the NIDA Secretariat must be ensured.2. Detailed templates and processes need to be developed and publicized to gain the endorsement and support of the WG chairs.These recommendations are intended to further standardize the project management process and ensure that the project can proceed smoothly and achieve the desired objectives.The Technical Requirements for Intelligent O&M Capability of Enterprise Campus Networks has been updated based on the latest project initiation application template and passed the online voting on October 18, meeting the 70% approval rate required for project initiation. Next, the WG02 WG selects a date to submit the project to the Technical Committee (TC) for formal initiation decision. Attached voting result : https://my.alliancehub.net/a/nida/wg/WG02/vote/136The kick-off meeting came to a successful conclusion. During the meeting, representatives of all parties made active speeches, discussed important topics in depth, reached many consensus, and determined the direction of the work of the Working Group in the future.

On October 18, 2024, the Network Innovation and Development Alliance (NIDA) held the inaugural meeting of its Technical Committee (TC) in Beijing. The meeting was held in person and online, with 35 representatives from member organizations in attendance. Among them, 3 board members and 4 senior members held voting rights. Entrusted by the council, the NIDA TC led the development of alliance standards, and jointly discussed and determined the future technical development direction of the alliance.Zhang Liang, vice chairman of the NIDA TC, delivered an opening speech. He fully recognized the important role of the TC in promoting the innovation and development of fixed network technologies and emphasized the TC's responsibilities include closely following technology trends, participating in the formulation of network standards, and promoting the implementation of those standards. He also encouraged all members to actively contribute their insights and support the TC's work.The NIDA Technical Committee Terms of References (Trial Version), also known as NIDA TC ToR, was reviewed in the meeting to ensure that all members understood the TC's operational mechanism and scope of rights and responsibilities. The participants then deliberated on and passed the NIDA TC ToR.The meeting reviewed and approved the proposals of four working groups: network evolution working group, network intelligence working group, data center network working group, and campus network working group. The chairman and vice chairmen of each working group were elected, and the working groups were established.The election results are as follows:Chairman of the network evolution working group: Gao Wei; vice chairmen: Cao Chang, Wei Liang, and Chen ShuanglongChairman of the network intelligence working group: Ma Junfeng; vice chairmen: Han Sai, Wang Chunsheng, Liu Chun, and Bo KaitaoChairman of the data center network working group: Guo Liang; vice chairmen: Shao HuiyongChair of the campus network working group: Guo Xiaoyan; vice chairmen: Lu Xi, Chen Jie, Miao Fu, and Yuan LiquanThis meeting was successfully concluded in an efficient and orderly atmosphere, laying a solid foundation for subsequent TC-related work.
