GreenTouch Members Meeting
The GreenTouch Consortium conducted its second members meeting in Amsterdam in November 2010, where more than 100 attendees from four continents came together to advance GreenTouch research projects that were initiated by the organization following its launch earlier this year.
The two-day members meeting consisted of intense operational sessions where work plans and projects were defined. This latest meeting was another important milestone for GreenTouch, and evidence that it is making significant progress on the path towards meeting its ambitious objectives.
“Just six months after our first meeting, we already have 15 research projects under way and GreenTouch momentum continues to build,” noted Gee Rittenhouse, GreenTouch Consortium Chairman and Vice President of Research at Alcatel-Lucent Bell Labs. “We now have members from Europe, Asia, Australia and North America collaborating to support the meteoric growth of voice and data network usage with even greater gains in network energy efficiency.”
The GreenTouch Consortium was announced in January 2010 and incorporated as a non-profit foundation in the Netherlands in May. GreenTouch membership has more than doubled since the initial members meeting held this past June in London. The Consortium currently is governed by a nine-member Executive Board, with work driven by eight committees and working groups.
