The Quilt

Mission

The Quilt, a coalition of advanced regional network organizations, is a dynamic forum where leaders from throughout the advanced research and education network community build on the intellectual capital and best practices of network service providers worldwide. Based on the participants' combined experiences in operations and development of leading edge technologies, the Quilt aims to influence the national agenda on information technology infrastructure, with particular emphasis on networking. Through this coalition, the Quilt promotes delivery of networking services at lower cost, higher performance and greater reliability and security. The Quilt derives support and funding from a diverse base, including participants, federal agencies, and partners. It also relies on significant volunteer contributions from its participants.

Values

The Quilt plays a respected and trusted role within the networking and broader information technology communities. It maintains this role by engaging vendors, federal agencies, and its participants in diverse projects and interest groups.
