WNL has organised two briefing events to bring the twenty two Unitary Authorities in Wales up to date regarding recent developments and progress on the Lifelong Learning Network for Wales. These events will follow a similar format to the Consultative Meetings held in May 2002, and will be held at locations in North and South Wales. Each of the two events will follow an identical program.

The dates and venues of these meetings are as follows:

• Friday 18th July at the Council Chambers in Tonypandy
  (Rhondda Cynon Taff)
   

• Thursday 24th July at the Royal Pavilions in Llangollen
  (Denbighshire)

The intended audience for these events are IT Managers and Senior Network Officers, and will give delegates the opportunity to raise questions with members of the Managing Agents (WNL and Logical), and the National Assembly's Broadband Unit.

WNL are pleased to announce that the final remaining authority connected to the Lifelong Learning Network for Wales (LLNW) has received a public IP allocation from UKERNA. All twenty two Unitary Authorities are now able to achieve IP connectivity to the global internet via the SuperJANET4 interconnect service.
