`Planetlab Consortium
`
`The PlanetLab Consortium is a collection of academic, industrial, and government
`institutions cooperating to support and enhance the PlanetLab overlay network. It is
`responsible for overseeing the long-term growth of PlanetLab's hardware
`infrastructure; designing and evolving its software architecture; providing day-to-day
`operational support; and defining policies that govern appropriate use.
`
`Institutions join the Consortium by signing a membership agreement and connecting
`two or more nodes to the PlanetLab infrastructure. Individuals that want to use
`PlanetLab should arrange to do so through their home institution.
`
`The PlanetLab Consortium is managed by Princeton University, the University of
`California at Berkeley, and the University of Washington. Princeton currently hosts
`the Consortium. Larry Peterson currently serves as the Consortium's Director. A
`Governance Document describes how the Consortium is organized. This page
`highlights the main points.

`• David Culler, University of California at Berkeley
`• Rick McGeer, HP Labs

`
`Staff
`

`stability of the PlanetLab infrastructure; developing, hardening, and deploying
`software that enables the research community to contribute to PlanetLab; pushing
